Thick always meant muscular, round, healthy bodies. this quality in a woman is mainly found in Latina and African populations although not limited to these races. Now in 2023, the word has been so bastardized that every fat lazy cow on the block is posing like a playboy model calling themselves "thick". The only thing thick about these cultural appropriators is the size of their bowl movements....
you are correct on the first and third modern definition of the word but lack knowledge on ebonic culture and forgot the hip hop second definition of the word I am talking about. This is "Thick" before being overtaken by overweight woman
Yeah Thick in the head was a term I heard a lot in the 90s early 2000s. Then when Kim K big old ass came into the spotlight and people started saying "thick" to describe big booty bitches like herself. Then fat fugly bitches jumped on the bandwagon claiming they too are thick and the word lost all its magic...
both are fat in my book but the first one is still recoverable with a fix in her diet and seditary lifestyle. second woman has no hope of ever returning to a normal size without skin hanging like sleeve of wizard...
Bullshit, that is not thick, that is thin. You just destroyed your whole argument. I was around when "thick" came out, and I promise you that is not it!!
Thick -- or thicc. Internet slang, derived from hip-hop culture, in turn derived from the non-slang sense of 'thick' as plentiful or abundant ('Long, thick hair', 'the crowd was thicker nearer the stage' &c). It means curvy or voluptuous. To my knowledge, it's never meant muscular.
I actually understand the point you're trying to make; you're just being kind of... thick about it, lol.
I'm not entirely sure about “thick,” but when it comes to “curvy,” yes, I do agree. The term 'curvy' used to describe women that were voluptuous, fit, and in shape, which I believe is what you mean by "muscular." Women like Bettie Page or Anna Nicole Smith. However, now it does seem to be used to describe people who are overweight or obese.
While you may have a point, the reality is language changes and evolves over time, it always has, and this is just another example of it. Just the way it is I suppose. 🤷♂️
This is an example of the language devolving, not evolving as you so claim.
The word "Thick" was once a positive word used to give praise to big beautiful woman who are healthy but genetically bigger than most skinny petite models that are celebrated. Big asses were once demonized by the media unrightfully so and this new word helped bring the celebration of all HEALTHY bodies forward.
The Body Positivity movement had nobel origins before being hijacked by the obese. Now we are supposed to celebrate ALL bodies?!? This is BS, fatness should be criticized. when I was in Serbia, a buddy of mine saw my fat stomach and called me out saying "holy shit you really are fat!". It was very refreshing to hear this after being around fat McMuricans all the pandemic and thinking my lazy shit body was normal. I took the negativity positively and started hitting the gym after that interaction with my REAL FRIEND. We need more bullying of the fat!!!
evolution is the progression of something, devolution is the opposite. I know it is not officially used in this way and wasn't correcting you like you were wrong, more just trying to make a point of how body positive terms used to actually be positive and now are having a negative effect on society
i call it deevolving for sure. changing language just to CHANGE it is stupid. and note how society seems to be growing dumber at the same rate along side it.
There is ZERO REASON to alter word meanings when perfectly acceptable words already exsist for it.
Launguage "CHANGING" is where society falls apart. No longer able to just TALK to each other. I noticed it happening way back when ILL and SICK and GARBAGE became GOOD things. We're all fucked now.
Think about it.
Once we all change words per generation, at that point house mink far dred mock no time lame card pond. No queue mark?
Weren't thicc women also popular during the Renaissance? So I can't see how it'd be cultural appropriation, if you're talking about more than the word and the actual "quality in a woman", big women have been popular in different cultures at different points in history. And side note, but I don't see why "every fat lazy cow on the block" posing like a playboy model could possibly affect you unless you're actively seeking them out.
