Apparently, today is "Thick Girl Appreciation Day".

(Boy, it's hard to keep up with all the cultural terminology.) :lol:

Well, 'thick' used to mean dull or slow witted. Does it mean something else now?

"Thick" is synonymous with curvy. I'm not sure why someone thought this deserved a thread on the PB though.

'Thick' now is a modern euphemism for overweight.

Something on the lighter side, just for a bit of amusement.

One should learn something new every day. I guess this counts for today's lesson.

I can't believe you posted that here!!

(not necessarily overweight. It means large in the hip area)

Thanks a lot, Richard. I'm trying to listen to some Rossini while I work and now all I can hear in my head is the old "Too Thick Polka!" :wink:

Peace,
Alan
