# Gunt 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. ## Origin 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 years[3]. 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 death[1]. The earliest documented 4chan use came on February 24, 2010, when an anonymous /tv/ poster applied it to a woman in a thread image[2]. - **Platform:** Urban Dictionary (coinage) / YouTube and Imgur (2020 video exploitable) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2002 ## 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 definition[4], with 4chan /tv/ threads applying it to women in posted images[2] and a WordPress blog called guntsandgocks assembling example photos in 2012[5]. The variant "gock," defined on the same blog, combines "gut" and "cock" for a belly that swallows the groin[5]. By 2020 gunt fused with one specific target. Clips of Ethan Ralph's exposed stomach from a leaked sex tape got isolated against a greenscreen[8] and pasted into other edits, so any image of Ralph in a shirt riding up gave his audience and critics the same punchline[3]. ## How to Use 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 bouncing[8] and composite it over other footage, or zoom in on candid photos where his gunt is visible under his shirt[7]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Gunt?
