1. A spiced custard tart of autumnal provenance, distinguished by a filling depth that reads less as dessert and more as load-bearing infrastructure; esp. one whose cross-section, once a slice is removed, reveals a stratum of orange filling so dense it could be carbon-dated.
2.colloq. Seasonal baked goods that do not apologize for their depth. The crust is a formality. The filling is the whole argument.
In a sentence:
"She set a thiccc pumpkin pie on the Thanksgiving table and the paper plates immediately became a structural concern. The slice on the side confirmed everything."
Etymology:
From Middle English pompion, via Old French pompon, from Latin pepo, from Greek pepōn, meaning 'large melon,' which is doing a lot of work here. The pie suffix from Old English pīe, origin disputed, possibly from Latin pica (magpie), for the way a pie collects things inside it. Nobody who has seen a proper slice of this in raking light has ever thought 'magpie.'
Yes. Pumpkin Pie was admitted to the Thiccctionary on August 4, 2026 and filed in the Foods of Substance section. The ruling on file: Admitted under protest. Every subject in the catalogue is judged on its curves, not its size.
What makes a pumpkin pie thiccc?
Seasonal baked goods that do not apologize for their depth. The crust is a formality. The filling is the whole argument.
