USE " WEIGHT GAIN", RETARDED MORON!
Basically, what the guy wants to say is "No mention" is formal English and "getting fat" is used in oral English. Formal and oral expressions should not go together in one sentence.
I have two questions.
1. Is "no mention of something" a formal and "getting fat" an oral expression? It indeed they are, how do we distinguish formal from oral usage patterns?
2. Is using formal and oral expressions in one sentence considered bad, if so, how bad?
Formal and oral English

I wonder if it’s correct to say “no mention of” is formal English while “getting fat” is oral English. To me, both of them can be spoken as well as written English.It’s more sensible comparing between formal and informal English, or between spoken and written English.

Weight gain is not the same as getting fat because weight gain can be from protein and not necessarily from fat.
