in this case "gros" would be more like... big
"gras" means fat/fatty

mais on dit d'une personne qu'elle est grosse, pas grasse

c'est vraiment pour les cochons parce qu'on les mange

donc "gras" est positif alors que gros est négatif

[dark oriole]

en effet, c'est pour ça que j'ai dit "in this case" ^^

gros = big around the middle
grand = big in terms of height
gras = fatty

so, with people, if they're gros, they're big around the middle, thus fat

[terse frigate]

but we dont call them gras

and les cochons gras are also big around the middle

indeed, it's a case where English and French don't line up well with one another
