"Four-eyes" is extremely familiar in America, though somewhat old-fashioned. Not that it's been replaced, merely that glasses are more fashionable than before.

"Fatso" is still going strong, with "Tubby" and "Fatty" lagging far behind. The sometimes affectionate "Chubby" and "Chubbo" are also heard.
