In a sentence:
"The farmers market vendor pulled out a thiccc garlic bulb the size of a billiard ball, set it on the table, and let it speak for itself. Three people put down their phones."
Etymology:
From Old English garleac, from gar ('spear,' referring to the pointed clove shape) + leac ('leek'). The spear metaphor is, in retrospect, doing a lot of work for something this round.
The fact that the cloves pack inward rather than outward means the bulk is entirely structural. It is not showing off. It simply has nowhere else to put it.
Yes. Garlic Bulb was admitted to the Thiccctionary on April 19, 2026 and filed in the Produce & Botanical section. The ruling on file: Admitted under protest. Every subject in the catalogue is judged on its curves, not its size.
