A throwback slang term that is not used enough anymore. Originally meaning "Pretty Hot and Tempting", it became a general word for "cool". Mostly used ironically nowadays because of its lame nature.

your a bunch of retards, it is a word originally used by blacks in Maryland/Virginia area in the 70's meaning pussy, hips, ass, and tits to describe the girl who got it all. White people stole it and tried to make it not-so-offensive
That bitch phat as a mothafucka!

it just means that your man made the biggest mistake of his life and called you fat, and because he doesnt want to get slapped he says he meant it as "p-h-a-t" its an acronym for pretty hot and tempting, or pretty hot and tight, or whatever else he makes up. it works well for guys, cause girls usually think its so adorable and end up forgiving the guy. it happened to me and im so happy i didnt dump him! (although im not fat, bastard)

Back in 1976, two dudes from Great Mills, Maryland, one black and one white made up the word and it stood for: Pretty, Hips, And Thighs.

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".
