A youngish man, usually
gay, who has gotten quite
fat but is neither old enough nor obese enough to qualify as a full-fledged "chub." Less insulting than the term "
heifer" used sometimes to reference the same kind of individual.
"Joe may not quite be a "chubette," but with that paunch, his goatee and chest hair, he's a
Bear by anyone'
s definition." If he gains much more weight he'll qualify for chubette.
Moo! But chubby chasers will stand in line around the block to get to him.
Q: How many "chubettes" grow into full-
time "chubs"?
A: They all do, unless they lose some weight and tone up; in which case they might pass for muscle bears.
