What does "chonk" mean in internet slang?
The structure is a playful alteration of "chunk" or "chunky," replacing the "u" with "o" and adding a soft ending for a cute, humorous effect. It is used to describe an affectionately overweight or heavy pet, usually a cat or dog, often celebrated rather than shamed in online pet communities. People typically call their pet a "chonk" or "absolute chonk" when sharing photos of round, fluffy, or thick bodied animals.
Examples
Look at that chonk lounging on the couch!
