slabs

Heavy flat portions

Slabs is the plural of slab—a thick, flat piece of material.

Stone slabs pave walkways, slabs of concrete form foundations, and a slab of meat is a thick cut: He grilled thick slabs of bacon.

In informal use, slabs can mean large quantities served flat: slabs of chocolate cake.

In Houston hip-hop culture, slabs are customized vintage cars with elaborate modifications.
