Chubs is the plural of chub, a freshwater fish with a thick body found in rivers and streams across Europe and North America.
The word also functions as informal slang for a chubby person or, more specifically, for an overweight gay man—a usage that originated in gay communities where "chub" describes a body type and subculture.
In casual speech, chubs can affectionately reference plump babies, pets, or anyone with a round physique.
