        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.

          Honestly, it’s not even sexist anymore. I’ve seen it used to refer to men almost as often as women.

          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?

              Cause you’d say “Thick with 3 C’s”
