SlangWhat is the origin and meaning of the word "Gigachad"?
The slang term Gigachad refers to an extreme, idealized version of a Chad, representing a man who is considered the ultimate example of physical attractiveness, confidence, and traditional masculinity. The prefix "giga" intensifies the archetype, suggesting a level beyond the typical alpha male. The term became popular in the late 2010s through internet memes, often featuring digitally altered images of model Ernest Khalimov that depict impossibly chiseled features and a hyper-masculine physique. While it can be used as a genuine compliment, it is more often employed humorously or ironically to highlight unrealistic beauty standards and exaggerated portrayals of male dominance.
