Gyat (/ɡjɑːt/; an abbreviation of Girl Your Ass Is Thick or Goddamn), or Gyatt,[1] is an internet slang term describing a person, often a woman, with large buttocks and sometimes an hourglass figure.[2][3] Gyat garnered virality on the social media platform TikTok in 2022[4] in part due to its frequent use by various online streamers.[5] It has become an internet meme, particularly employed and popularized by Generation Alpha.[6]
Origins[edit]
The current meaning of the term Gyat was coined by online streamer YourRAGE, who used it to describe a physically attractive woman, and it was popularized by Kai Cenat, an American YouTuber.[7]
Usage[edit]
On October 2, 2023, a TikTok account under the username @ovp.9 posted a short video of a character from the online video game Fortnite "singing" to a musical parody of the 2021 song “ecstacy” by Suicidal-Idol.[8] The parody featured multiple internet culture terms including Skibidi Toilet and Rizz.[9] According to The New York Times, the parody is cited as "a key" to the popularization of Gyat.[6]
