dadbod
Middle-aged male physique
A dadbod is the physique of a middle-aged man who was once fit but has softened—carrying extra weight around the midsection without being obese.
The term emerged as a gentle, sometimes affectionate way to describe this common body type: He's got a dadbod now but he used to run marathons.
The concept gained traction partly as pushback against idealized male fitness standards.
