Which is exactly why I asked about the text, purpose amd target reader. The whole sentence might be helpful as well.
Icing (X) Nov 7, 2013:
Potwierdzając uwagę Serenadele, pytający ostatnio zadawał pytania związane z przemysłem kosmetycznym i kategoria brzmi „Cosmetics, Beauty”, zatem propozycje z „fat” nie są zbyt odpowiednie do materiału reklamowego czy promocyjnego.
Serenadele Nov 6, 2013:
czy to są wałeczki czy raczej zwały tłuszczu?

"fat rolls" sugeruje raczej zwały tłuszczu, a więc człowiek może być zranionym, jeśli tak powiemy

wałeczki miały być pieszczotliwe chyba, a nie z grubej rury

następnie "folds of fat" też sugeruje zwały tłuszczu, takie, że aż się zwijają ...

"spare tire" to jest zastępcza opona samochodowa, a więc sugeruje raczej oponki, a nawet OPONY tłuszczu

natomiast "love handles" to określenie żartobliwe i nie rani... nie wyśmiewa... wiadomo, że jak się ma boczki, to też ma się brzuszki i plecki :)))
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Nov 6, 2013:
Like wałeczki, "love handles" is an ENDEARING term for something that would otherwise be embarassing. It is a euphemism, a polite term, not a scientific description of subcutaneous tissue.
Caryl Swift Nov 6, 2013:
Text type, purpose and target reader...??? What kind of text do you have, please? Where will it appear? What's its purpose? Who are the target readers?

Thanks, Icing. I was hoping someone would recognize the term.

Thank you, Karoline, for your kind vote.
disagree Polangmar : To dotyczy tylko boków: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_handles - w kontekście mamy "tworzące się na brzuchu" (a więc również, lub nawet głównie, z przodu). || Tym bardziej: taki aprecjonujący termin nie pasuje do czegoś, czego chcemy się pozbyć.

neutral Agnieszka Tomeczek : I have to say that I also only know love handles in relation to the sides of the abdomen. It's true that in some contexts it would be perfectly right to use it to generally describe the condition of our midriff but precisely it means boczki

How can one be precise with "wałeczki"? What precision is there in "spare tire"?
