There would also be a semantic contradiction between the headword 'slim' and the 'fat' morpheme of the word 'fatboy' which modifies 'slim'. 'Fat ' and 'slim' are quasi-antonyms (opposites) in spite of the fact that the modifier-head structure of the phrase suggests that they are closely connected.

Read More »Levels of language & pop group names Analysis of the name, Fatboy Slim The first word of the two-word name is deviant graphologically and lexically as it consists of what would normally be two words constituting a noun phrase with an adjective-head structure, pushed together to make one word. Moreover, there is also a kind of contradiction between this first word and the second one. This contradiction has two possible variants, depending upon how we construe the overall structure of the name. If 'slim' is the headword of the phrase, then, as it is an adjective, the whole phrase is an adjective phrase. This construal would make the name stand out, as (a) adjective phrases are not normally used for names and (b) nouns do not normally act as pre-modifiers in adjective phrases. There would also be a semantic contradiction between the headword 'slim' and the 'fat' morpheme of the word 'fatboy' which modifies 'slim'. 'Fat ' and 'slim' are quasi-antonyms (opposites) in spite of the fact that the modifier-head structure of the phrase suggests that they are closely connected. 'Fat' normally has 'thin' as its opposite, but 'slim', when used to denote body size and shape, can be seen as a synonym to 'thin' but with kinder connotations. [Note, however, that, as with all synonyms, 'thin' and 'slim' are not alternatives in all contexts - we can talk of a slim figure, but not a thin figure, and of a thin wire but not a slim wire. If you think again about the synonymic verbs 'shut' and 'close' which Keats chose between in the 'Eve of St Agnes', you should be able to think of some contexts where one is appropriate but not the other. Brian Walker, a previous Language and Style student, has given us the following comment, which we though might interest you "'Fatboy Slim' - could also be a play on the street word phat - which means rich or loaded with bass (is that bassy?). I noticed this word on the cover of a rap album I have - which claims to have/contain 20 phat flavas straight from the streets." [How right are we? ...
