Gyat (/ɡjɑːt/; an abbreviation of Girl Your Ass Is Thick or Goddamn), or Gyatt, is an internet slang term describing a person, usually a woman, with large buttocks and sometimes an hourglass figure. Gyat garnered virality on the social media platform TikTok in 2022 in part due to its frequent use by various online streamers. It has become an internet meme, particularly employed and popularized by Generation Alpha.
Origins
The current meaning of the term Gyat was coined by online streamer YourRAGE, who used it to describe a physically attractive woman, and it was popularized by Kai Cenat, an American YouTuber.
Usage
On October 2, 2023, a TikTok account under the username @ovp.9 posted a short video of a character from the online video game Fortnite "singing" to a musical parody of the 2021 song “ecstacy” by Suicidal-Idol. The parody featured multiple internet culture terms including Skibidi Toilet and Rizz. According to The New York Times, the parody is cited as "a key" to the popularization of Gyat.
