Teen slang? Thicc has been around online since around 2010, and IRL for even longer. That means anyone who was a teen when it became popularized is pushing 30 now.
The term, originally spelled “thick,” dates back to the 90s and was used in black culture in reference to women, Dictionary.com says.
Can we stop this “black culture” bull shit too? At this point, it’s just American culture. Why are we segregatting a questionably sexist term now?
Stop categorizing every little thing as “black” or “white”. An American started the term for a specific purpose, and Americans still use it today with a broader application.
I don’t think that the otter minds being called thicc.
Who was the apology for exactly?
Apology was for people offended by an aquarium using teen slang to connect with today’s youth.
Truly a tragedy.

How about “thick” and “thicc” being 2 separate terms and having different origins?
Why should they relate? I’ve only ever heard “thicc” being used on the internet.
how would you be able to tell the difference in spoken language?
