thunder thighs

Powerfully built limbs

Thunder thighs is a mocking term for thick or heavy upper legs, especially on women.

The phrase implies legs so large they make noise when they rub together.

It's used as an insult or self-deprecating humor: I can't wear shorts with these thunder thighs.

Some reclaim the term proudly.
