    you: “is this type of body a body type?”

    me: “yes, a type is a type”

    you: “no, I meant something really specific” (provides a list of lists)

    me: (looking at the list of lists): “this is pure nonsense”

      I’m aware that any of the past attempts to classify body types are extremely pseudo-scientific and I’ve explained as much in a different comment in this thread. The point is that “body type” isn’t just necessarily just a generic way to refer to someone’s body shape. Plenty of people still believe in that made up nonsense.
