How do YOU define BBW?

I wouldn't define a BBW nor would I define a skinny girl. It is not something that can be defined. It can't be done by weight and beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. Instead of trying to "define" people based on appearance, I tend to define people by who they are. Funny, confident, sexy, feminine/masculine, intelligent, caring, honest, compassionate, etc.
However as others have pointed out BBW is a respectful term for a larger beautiful woman. Just like spinner is a for a petite, skinny woman or teddy-bear for a big hunky man etc. However, if you are the type that need to use terms like fat or anorexic to describe people then to be honest I feel more sorry for the you then person you are describing.

Is there a polite term or acronym for a woman who is 'larger', but not beautiful, like, say, Honey Boo Boo's mom, to distinguish her body type from, say, Jennifer Hudson? When used indiscriminately, there is a tendency to err on the side of caution.
I think a pretty face hides figure flaws a lot better than than a great body hides a homely face. It just seems a bit unfair that the ambiguity of the term BBW discriminates against the larger woman who is being accurately described, because we don't wish to offend the heavy girls who look like their dad.
This term is used outside of this industry so there goes the "marking term" idea.
A person with bi-polar is not "mentally challenged" It is a mental illness, like all other illnesses. What do you call someone with cancer, diabetes, heart disease?
June - That is her name afterall.
Why do you need to call her something and why does that something have to based on your opinion of her physical appearance? To be honest, I have seen June dress herself up, take care of her appearance and when she does she look good. In comparison to what she looks like when doesn't. Just like everyone else in the world. She may not win model of the year, but so what? Many of us won't be winning that award.
If you really feel the need to put an acronym to someone, that is not really being polite, so call them that you think. If you think that June is a big ugly woman then call her a BUW.
You edited your post, so I will reply to this. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So for you June {honey boo's mom} is not facially attractive, but another woman is. For Sugar Bear, he thinks that June is DDG. So you can't not coin a phrase to fit all people. It will just not work. A woman is only a BBW in the eyes of the person calling her that.
I have been described by others as beautiful and apparently, I described myself to someone a year ago as not hideous. To which, now that I know that, a few of us have had a good laugh at my clear lack of esteem back then. LOL. I would not say that about myself now and maybe someone who saw me as beautiful before will call me ugly now. Doesn't really matter much. Opinions change all the time. Bodies change all the time.
However if it is a big deal to you, always remember what mom said "if you can't say something nice, then just don't say anything."
in regards to themselves or other women. Women are not that harsh about judging men and their appearance. We have work to do in the sisterhood department, that is for sure.

Well, it certainly matters on an Escort Review Board! If an Escort is described in a review as BBW, that could mean Gina Carano
or Venus of Willendorf

How does it matter it here? What difference does it make? You see reviews all the time where one guy says a girl is a 10 facially and another says she is a 5, and that is with the "normal" sized ladies.
And I get what an analogy is but saying that a person with Bi-polar is mentally challenged is not an "analogy" it is an insult. Just saying. Mentally challenged is an intellectual disability, not mental disability. There is a difference.
BTW - I am not trying to be challenging or anything. So I hope you are not talking my posts wrong as often happens here. This is all in good tone and happy smiles. LOL
You clearly do not understand the analogy. My point was that using BBW as a catch-all for all larger women is akin to using a single term to describe diminished mental potential and brain chemistry imbalance. One size does not fit all, in either case. Many larger women are very beautiful, but, in most cases, the extra weight is not the reason why.
So if a woman is not beautiful, then don't call her that. Facially beautiful can not be singly defined as it is depended upon the viewer's opinion of the subject. We both agree. You seem to need to find a term that you can call everyone and that is not going to happen. That is my point.
and my bad, I thought I read that YOU call people mentally challenged, I get where you were going now.
No! I'm suggesting exactly the opposite of that! I'm saying that one term does injustice to the larger woman who is facially attractive, and/ or has a large frame, by lumping her together in a demographic with a lot of other women who overeat and under exercise, or those who are just genetically endomorphic.
It matters here because if a guy is considering booking a session with an Escort described as BBW, she could be a size 10, or a size 25. That makes a huge difference, in term of personal taste. Many guys would gladly spend $250 per hour for the former, but would pass on the latter, even if it was free, (no inference of golden showers intended).
Which is why research is key. Most SP's only show body so you can not judge the face until you see her in person. There are many ladies who have great bodies but not facially attractive. The term "Butterface = but her face" comes to mind.
Guy will pay for size 25, guys will pay for size 2. Each guy is different. For the escort world BBW basically means a larger woman. That is all. It has nothing to do with whether she is facially pretty or not.
If I was reviewing a "BBW" escort who I did not find facially attractive for example, I would write something like "She is a by escort definition a BBW, but facially she was not personally what I look for..." Leave it then to others to inquire via PM. If wanting to try to be more polite about it. However, remember that one man's 5 is another mans 10. Again the beauty part of the BBW is all based on you the viewer.
Um sweetie, I don't think any SP can make ends meet with just one client and if you think that size 25 will only get one client, you are totally mis-informed. LOL There is a huge market for larger women and then there is another huge market for large x 2 plus 10 in size. There really is a market for almost anything woman wise.
To me a BBW in REAL life measurements is 185-225 depending on height, curves and placement of weight. A proper size 10/12 -16. So for escort sizes that would be 150-190lbs. Breast larger then the stomach, defined waist line, nice smile, clean skin, etc. Attitude and sex appeal, confidence, and femininity. But hey, what do I know. I am not a hobbyist. LOL
Oh, I know that better than most. My brother runs a small agency out west during his off season. They only have old lady doms. They have full dance cards. A lot of successful businessmen enjoy being punished by Mom between mergers and acquisitions.
That's an excellent definition. The Escort size table should be made a sticky.
With the exception of gays and the guy who does it professionally at the Ex, most guys probably can't estimate a woman's true weight within 10%. It's similar to basketball players whose heights are rounded up, or are measured while wearing shoes.
A lot of guys would be shocked by what 5'5", 110 lb. can look like. It could be a proportionally busty spinner, (32 full B, 23-34), or Trish from Survivor.
Hence the reasoning behind the second half of the formula above. There are definitely significant factors that influence whether or not a larger woman is considered a BBW vs. simply overweight.
