chungus
What does chungus mean?
Used for anything pleasingly chunky — a fat cat, a huge sandwich, a thicc rabbit. The original 'Big Chungus' meme paired a screenshot of Bugs Bunny puffing his cheeks with the word, and the internet ran with it. Now it's a general-purpose 'look at this absolute unit' descriptor, with a softer, cuter vibe.
"Look at this absolute chungus of a raccoon raiding my bin."
Origin
Coined by Jim Sterling in a 2017 video review ('I am the chungus'), then exploded in 2018 as the 'Big Chungus' Bugs Bunny meme on Reddit's r/BigChungus and r/dankmemes.
