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.
How did you gather she’s offended from that single message? I don’t see any words suggesting that. Perhaps you’re overly defensive right now, and one might say, offended that someone sees things differently to you.
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.
Fucking right? I grew up in schools where urban vernacular was very popular, so it’s interwoven into my casual speech. But SJW’s would have you believe I’m culturally appropriating lingo because of the color of my skin, despite the fact that it’s part of my upbringing. So much of modern anti-racism is just moar racism.
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.

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?
You can absolutely tell the difference because “thicc” comes with gesticulations indicating the outer bounds of the x-axis of the subject’s frame
Furthermore, additional C’s and/or spaces between each letter requires the gesticulations to include the outer bounds of the Y-axis
Cause you’d say “Thick with 3 C’s”
God dammit earth
