In a sentence:
"The line cook at the Guadalajara spot on Flatbush slid a thiccc burrito across the counter and it landed with the authority of a sandbag. The foil was already losing the argument."
Etymology:
From Spanish burrito, diminutive of burro, meaning 'donkey,' the logic being that a small donkey carries a heavy load. The diminutive has not aged well as a descriptor. Nothing diminutive has occurred here.
Yes. Burrito was admitted to the Thiccctionary on September 3, 2026 and filed in the Foods of Substance section. The ruling on file: Admitted. Every subject in the catalogue is judged on its curves, not its size.
What makes a burrito thiccc?
Cylindrical food with hips. The tortilla is doing its best.
Is "thiccc" spelled with three c's?
Yes. The Thiccctionary house spelling uses three c's, distinguishing the editorial register from the colloquial "thicc" (two c's) and standard "thick" (one c).
