Twinky
A term used to describe a slightly overweight, yet attractive female.
Origin:
(British slang, origin: Spanish, "Tuinkileras" likening such girls to the famous American snack, the "Twinky", due to their unashamed fat content, yet mysterious, alluring nature (often a pretty face, or "approachable" manner).
Appearance:
- Cankles
Caused invariably by slight obesity and / or standing in the middle of the dance floor all night, trying to be noticed. As one Spanish observer is quoted as saying: "El Tuinkileras tiene que tener los “cankles”" (Lit: "The Twinkies must have the cankles").
- Modest breasts
These separate the Twinky from women commonly seen as "bubbly".
- Fake tan
- Shortness
...Or at least a clear disproportion between the length of the lower body (shorter) and upper (longer). It is generally appreciated though that no Twinky should be labelled such if over 5ft 6" (167.6 cm).
