This came from wikipedia:

Twink or is a gay slang term describing a young or young-looking gay man (usually in his late teens or early twenties) with a slender build and little or no body hair and no facial hair

partietraumatic · 25th Feb 2009, 02:20 PM

hmm i thought it meant the more feminine, pretty type of guy, like slightly built,less body hair etc but yeah i could be wrong

Wikipedia has a definition! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twink_(gay_slang). Probably not the best definition but it's a good start.

Twink is usually a guy between 18-25 with little or no body hair and a well toned body. The term comes from 'twinkie' golden brown on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside.

And don't forget of little nutrition or relationship value.

From Urban Dictionary

Quote:

An attractive, boyish-looking, young gay man. The stereotypical twink is 18-22, slender with little or no body hair, often blonde, dresses in club wear even at 10:00 AM, and is not particularly intelligent. A twink is the gay answer to the blonde bimbo cheerleader.

There are two major theories about the origin of this word, both of which probably have elements of truth to them.

a) Twink comes from an acronym T.W.I.N.K. "Teenage, White, Into No Kink."

b) Twink is a shortening of the name for the famous "TWINKIE" snack cake: a tasty, cream-filled snack with no nutritional value. The phallic shape of the "TWINKIE" snack cake should not escape the reader's attention.

One of my friends says I fit the decription of a twink almost perfectly. I don't know If I agree with her.

I wouldn't disagree with her, but it is not an insult. I would be very flattered if I were in your shoes...

Really? I thought it was kind of an insult becuase it was like she was calling me stupid or something.

stilsurchin · 25th Feb 2009, 08:43 PM

No, that's calling you blond. Trust me, it's not an insult, it just basically says you're a hot little package.....

I hope you don't find it rude, but you do.

Don't worry, I find you good looking.
