Overweightness

Overweightness: noun. The degree to which one is overweight, as well as the degree to which one is being weighed down by a problem, burden or in-law. This word became very popular in the vocabulary of doctors in the 1960's, especially after the baby boom in Europe and Asia. The sentence: "Overweightness was high in the city due to the overweightness of the population" appeared in many different satirical comics and cartoons of various newspapers, along with caricatures of various family members.
