Phat is an adjective to describe approval in Hip Hop culture. Hence, someone or
something that is phat could be
cool, rich, entertaining, intelligent, fly or otherwise to be admired. The term derives from Black
English Vernacular(Ebonics) as a deliberate misspelling of the word fat. Fake etymologies for "phat" state that the word originated as an acronym for "Pretty Hot And Tempting", "Plenty of Hips And Thighs" or "Pussy, Hips And Tits".
