Boeing 777X
BOE-ing seven-seven-X n.- 1. A long-haul aircraft renowned for its expansive width and fuselage curvature, especially when observed from behind in dramatic lighting.
- 2. colloq. The ultimate expression of aeronautical thiccness: possesses an empennage that appears to challenge the horizon itself.
In a sentence,
"Viewed from the tarmac, the Boeing 777X is a thiccc marvel of engineering. The wingspan alone seems to warrant a separate zip code."
Etymology,
From Boeing Company (Seattle-based aircraft manufacturer, est. 1916) combined with a model designation signifying the latest in a series of wide-bodied jets. Allegedly, the 'X' stands for 'extra thiccc'.
