absolute unit

Impressively large thing

Absolute unit is internet slang for something impressively large or massive, used with exaggerated admiration.

The phrase emerged from a 2017 tweet praising Queen Elizabeth's burly bodyguard: In awe at the size of this lad. Absolute unit.

It now applies to anything oversized—people, animals, objects: That cat is an absolute unit.
