Gunt is a portmanteau of "gut" and "cunt" referring to the bulging area between the waist and genitals, mostly on overweight women and sometimes men. The word also attached itself to right-wing podcaster Ethan Ralph as a nickname by 2020.

Where did Gunt come from?

Urban Dictionary user Mickey Deuce submitted the first known definition on September 24, 2002. Earliest known uses outside the dictionary showed up on Twitter in 2007 and 4chan /tv/ in 2010.

It names the fat roll below the belly button and above the genitals, with the related slang "gock" used for the male version made from "gut" and "cock". Know Your Meme notes the word is applied to overweight women and, less often, men.

Most common usage is as a direct insult or image caption attached to photos of overweight people. Since August 2020, meme makers also composite a greenscreen clip of Ethan Ralph's stomach into other videos.

Is Gunt still popular?

Online use of the word peaked around 2020 alongside the Ethan Ralph video edits, with Paulyfrog64's "Hurt" cover following Ralph's January 2022 beating in Portugal as one of the later notable Gunt uploads.

Gunt is a portmanteau of "gut" and "cunt" describing the bulging area between the waist and genitals on overweight people. Urban Dictionary user Mickey Deuce defined it in September 2002, and the slang moved through 4chan and Twitter during the 2000s. By August 2020, a greenscreen cutout of podcaster Ethan Ralph's jiggling stomach had turned the word into a video exploitable aimed squarely at him.

Overview

The slang word gunt works as a two-syllable insult thrown at a photo, a stream clip or a specific person without much setup. Early online use kept close to the Urban Dictionary definition4, with 4chan /tv/ threads applying it to women in posted images2 and a WordPress blog called guntsandgocks assembling example photos in 20125. The variant "gock," defined on the same blog, combines "gut" and "cock" for a belly that swallows the groin5.

By 2020 gunt fused with one specific target. Clips of Ethan Ralph's exposed stomach from a leaked sex tape got isolated against a greenscreen8 and pasted into other edits, so any image of Ralph in a shirt riding up gave his audience and critics the same punchline3.

Date

2002

On September 24, 2002, Urban Dictionary user Mickey Deuce submitted the first known online definition: "Bulging area found on large older women between the waist and the genital area. Not quite a gut, not quite a cunt… The Gunt."4 The entry collected more than 5,200 upvotes over roughly nineteen years3.

The word reached Twitter on March 21, 2007, when @DPF wrote "Well shunt me in the gunt and call me a munt funter" in a post about cricket coach Bob Woolmer's death1. The earliest documented 4chan use came on February 24, 2010, when an anonymous /tv/ poster applied it to a woman in a thread image2.

How It Spread

Through the 2010s gunt stayed niche. On February 9, 2012, the guntsandgocks blog posted its definitions and example photos cribbed from Urban Dictionary, then never updated again5. In February 2020, a now-deleted Reddit user shared a /r/BoneAppleTea image of someone misspelling "extravagant" as "eggs trava gunt," briefly putting the word in front of a wider audience6.

The bigger shift came in August 2020. After podcaster Ethan Ralph's leaked sex tape circulated through his own stream chat, YouTuber Say No To GENO posted a greenscreen cutout of Ralph's bouncing stomach on August 118, and users built edits from that clip across Imgur3. YouTuber Roberto9k compiled a "guntpilation" two days later9. By September 28, 2020, Ralph was posting group photos on Twitter and commenters replied with zoomed-in shots of his belly captioned "gunt"7. A cover of "Hurt" retitled "Gunt" by YouTuber Paulyfrog64 followed Ralph's January 2022 beating and robbery in Portugal10.

How to Use This Meme

Most common usage is as a one-word reply or image caption attached to a photo of someone's lower belly. For Ethan Ralph specifically, people take the greenscreened cutout of his stomach bouncing8 and composite it over other footage, or zoom in on candid photos where his gunt is visible under his shirt7.
