Eat Your Paczki . . . Enjoy the Day
And don't use the "F" word

Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday", reflecting the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season.
It's one of the few times in this 2015 "politically correct" world that the word "Fat" can be used so blatantly and so often.
In the 50s and 60s, Catholic kids were made - by their parents - to "give up" candy for Lent which begins the day after "Fat Tuesday. Lent runs from "Ash Wednesday" until Easter Sunday which is sometime in the far-distant future.
Now, we just eat all Paczki we can before Lent starts.
It's surprising that "politically correct" activists haven't mounted a campaign to block the usage of "Fat" from the expression "Fat Tuesday."
If you've thought of that too . . . Here's a list of words that can be substituted for "Fat."
