"Fat man" was the codename for the atomic bomb that was detonated over Nagasaki, Japan, by the United States on August 9, 1945.

According to Wikipedia, "Fat Man was possibly named after Winston Churchill, though Robert Serber said in his memoirs that as the Fat Man bomb was round and fat, he named it after Sidney Greenstreet's character in The Maltese Falcon."
