Thicc definition: what "Thicc" means and examples

February 9, 2026

A descriptive term for someone with an attractive, curvy, or muscular physique.

Note the spelling with two "c's" - this is intentional. Thicc is usually a compliment, celebrating bodies that have curves, particularly in the hips and thighs. It has been part of a cultural shift away from the "size zero" beauty standards of the past. It can also be used humorously for objects, like a "thicc" slice of toast.

Examples:

"She looks great, she’s really embraced being thicc."
"He’s been doing heavy squats and now his legs are looking thicc."
"That’s a thicc protein shake you’ve made there."
