Bootylicious

What does bootylicious mean?

Attractive with a nice rear end

Bootylicious describes someone who is both attractive and endowed with a shapely, eye-catching rear end. Popularized by Destiny's Child in their 2001 hit song "Bootylicious," the term quickly became a compliment celebrating people, mainly women, with curves. The track (and term) is meant to be an empowering message that encourages listeners to embrace their bodies.

Originally arising from a blend of "booty" and "delicious," the combination conveys a sense of admiration and desire. Bootylicious became a fixture in the early 2000s pop culture lexicon, used extensively in music, social media, and everyday conversations. Today, people, mainly Gen Xers and Millennials, still use the term.
