thicc

It's not our job to take a stance in the battle between butts and boobs. And we're not trying to claim that one kind of body is better than another. But there's no denying that there is a wealth of memes regarding both being thicc and appreciating the thicness. While the word seems to have gained considerable popularity in the last few years, the meme-y term actually started popping up in the early 2000's. The earliest spotting was back in 2004 - on an Angelfire (feel old yet?) site dedicated to some of the era's most popular hip-hop artists.

Since its popularization, and since the gradual rejection of very skinny and curvy skinny as the standard, the term has been debated, meme'd and made into the subject of think pieces. Obviously we're mostly concerned with the memes. One of the most notable thiccness-related memes is "One Thicc Bih," a meme starring Mr. Krabs and his big fat booty. Others feature thicc versions of everything from planet Earth (Thicc Earth, anyone?) to Aunt Cass. We've put together some examples for worshippers (and owners) of the curves, but there's loads more over at Know Your Meme if you really wanna get down with the thiccness. 

Everyone's favorite reptilian social media overlord is receiving a lot of heat for some goofy photos taken in Hawaii. Mark Zuckerberg was snapped while surfing in the island state - and his liberal application of zinc sunscreen is being mocked relentlessly on Twitter. The jokes range from focusing on his surprisingly shapely posterior to what an absolute mime nightmare the photos embody. We've put together some of our favorites, but a quick search for 'Zuckerberg' on Twitter will definitely yield some solid entertainment. Enjoy!

If you're an old person (read: under the age of 20), then you've probably spent a fair amount of time listening to the kids today use strange words that mean absolutely nothing to you. You know, like yeet, woke or thicc. What do they mean? You don't know! At this point, you might feel too embarrassed to ask them for fear of looking like a moron. Never fear, fellow oldie, because USA Today published a guide to tell you exactly what it is the kids are saying these days!

BROTHER. We need the loops, brother. These animals should probably go on a diet, but since we do not subscribe to the fat-shaming of humans, these dudes are no different. 

Minor spoilers ahead! 

After the insane brutality of Avengers: Infinity War it feels good to finally laugh at the film's seemingly heartless villain. This levity has come to us via tweets about the blue Titan being, well. Hot. That's right. Twitter is buzzing about the hulking alien's "thiccness." Reactions to this notion have been mixed - repulsing some while amusing to others. We're on the latter team, if only to ease the pain we felt watching most of our favorite superheroes turn to dust.
