What does Twunk mean?

A twunk is a twink who is more muscular or built — a blend of twink and hunk.

Also: twunks, twonk

Twunk is a portmanteau of twink and hunk: youthful and stylish like a twink, but with more muscle and definition. It captures a specific in-between look.

The term is casual and complimentary, describing guys who have a fit, athletic build without being bulky. It sits neatly between twink and jock.

Like all tribe words, it is self-defined and flexible, and nobody has to fit any of these boxes.

"Somewhere between twink and jock — twunk."
