Dummy Thicc became an internet sensation in early 2019, primarily popularized by a viral video featuring voice actor David Hayter, known for voicing Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series. In the clip, Hayter recites a fan-written script where Snake complains to his commander about being 'dummy thicc,' explaining that the 'clap of his ass cheeks' keeps alerting the guards. The term is slang for having an exceptionally curvaceous or muscular physique. Since its debut, the phrase has transcended the Metal Gear fandom to become a ubiquitous way to describe any character, object, or food item with exaggerated proportions, often used in a self-deprecating or absurdly hyperbolic context across social media platforms.
