      I mean seriously look at him.

      There's a 10 ft damp radius around him.

        I think it started as a chapotraphouse joke. But it really is just the literal meanings of the words. He's tall and fat (big), constantly glistening with sweat (wet), male and childish (boy).

        I'm fairly certain it's because a number of years back there was some photo of him practically glistening with sweat. And then the name stuck.

        I have no sources though, so take this with a grain of salt.

        Lol, I have the tism and I'm the one who asked the question. Not sure what I expected.

            I'm normally too afraid to ask about inside jokes unless I see them come up like a lot and still can't extrapolate the meaning behind them. I usually understand them after a while, if not immediately if they are readily apparent. But this one just kept eluding me. I just wasn't sure if it was meant to be taken at face value or if it had some in-joke reasoning.
