If you’re thinking the thigh gap is so last season, you might be right. There’s Internet buzz around a new body word, “thighbrow.” Elle Magazine explains the new word thighbrow as “a set of folds that frames the tops of thighs and separates leg from butt.” From this description, it sounds like thighbrow is the extra flesh at the bottom of your butt that could either be part of your thigh or part of your butt, however based on the images Elle uses to illustrate thighbrow, it looks like the skin roll created at the top front of the thigh when you bend forward, sit, or kneel — preferably on a yacht (see below to illustrate).

Sporting some thighbrow is way more achievable for most women compared to inner thighs that don’t touch (remember the thigh gap?) What do you think of this new word?
Thigh is pronounced using the /th/ sound in English. There are two ways to pronounce it in English, voiced and unvoiced. Both are made by putting your tongue between your teeth so that the tip of your tongue touches your teeth.
/th/ – voiced
This /th/ sounds like “this,” “although” and “that.”
Place the tip of your tongue between your top and bottom teeth and voice the sound.
/th/ – voiceless
This sound includes words like “thanks” and “thought” and “thigh.”
Place the tip of your tongue between your teeth but just blow air through your mouth without voicing the sound.
This video shows the difference:
Practice your /th/ sounds with this sentence.
Thinking about all the thrilling ways to aesthetically describe the body is insane, although entertaining. We went through thigh gap last year and just when you think you’ve heard it all, now there is thighbrow. Throw me a bone cause this one is thoroughly crazy!
