What is Gigachad?
Gigachad is an exaggerated internet meme archetype: an ultra-muscular, sharply sculpted and unshakeably confident version of a Chad. People often use the word as humorous praise for someone who looks impressive or behaves with unusual confidence, competence or generosity.
The image is intentionally larger than life. Gigachad is not an objective facial category, medical body type or official tier on a PSL scale. Photos associated with the meme also reflect deliberate lighting, posing, styling and editing.
Chad vs Gigachad
| Term | Usual meaning |
