Hey kids, there's a new, letter-based way to experience feelings of inadequacy and shame about your body. Thanks, Daily Mail! A couple weeks ago the tabloid ran a story on "Alphabetization," the new way to categorize body types. Supposedly they didn't invent this. They're pinning the blame for this trend on South Koreans. Whatever! Regardless of its origins, I think we can all agree it's super annoying.
So we've come up with an alphabet all of our own. It's based on women's real bodies -- and I roped some Stir staffers to demonstrate them for you. Do these look familiar?
