If you call someone fat than she might be self-conscious about it and starve herself. hopefully not literally to death.

An example is,we had a very beautiful,athletic exchange student from Germany at the school I worked at.Someone told her she looked fat in her silver and blue (dance cheer)outfit.She started starving herself and when she returned to Germany continued,the last I heard (from her exchange mom) she was flunking out of school from all the time in the hospital from her anorexia.She had been an advance student.Truly sad.The last time I saw her she had already gone from very fit,to very skinny.

it means that words are what could really hurt a person. That sometimes a physical scar can be heeled quicker than when someone hurts your feelings.

words can be worser than objects depending on how you use them.
