1. A laminated pastry of Viennese-French lineage, nominally crescent in name but, when executed with proper conviction, substantially thiccc through the midsection: layered, arched, and carrying most of its mass in a broad, domed hump that tapers reluctantly at both ends.
2.colloq. Butter's finest architectural achievement. The crescent is a formality; the real statement is the cross-section.
In a sentence:
"The boulangerie on Rue du Bac had a thiccc croissant in the window, laminated to about eleven visible strata, domed like a small vault. A handwritten card beneath it read simply: 'non.' The price was not listed."
Etymology:
From French croissant, present participle of croitre, 'to grow, to increase,' from Latin crescere, 'to arise, to grow.' The name refers to the crescent moon shape. The irony is that the shape is the least interesting thing about a properly made one.
The fact that the name means crescent but the crescent is genuinely the least important thing happening here is the most important thing happening here.
Yes. Croissant was admitted to the Thiccctionary on October 12, 2026 and filed in the Foods of Substance section. The ruling on file: Provisional. Every subject in the catalogue is judged on its curves, not its size.
What makes a croissant thiccc?
Butter's finest architectural achievement. The crescent is a formality; the real statement is the cross-section.
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).
