    A forum commenter applied this definition to a woman he saw on social media, "…the foid [woman] had all the gigastacy [rated 10 on the scale] traits, she was hot, blonde, wore makeup, wears skimpy clothes, popular, parties, and her boyfriend is a muscular bodybuilder gigachad."

    2020, anonymous, quoted in Annie Jones, "Incels and the Manosphere: Tracking Men's Movements Online", thesis submitted to the University of Central Florida, page 76

    Those that land in the top 20 percent of the scale earn some variant of “Chad” as a designation, varying from the low-tier "Chadlites" to the ultimate "Gigachad."

Gigachad2

proper noun
  1. InternetA nickname for a model from Russia, Ernest Khalimov, often featured in memes derived from several images posted by the Instagram account berlin.1969.

    This is no more true for Ernest Khalimov - AKA GigaChad - who has garnered so much acclaim for his good looks and chiseled physique that people have even questioned his own existence.

    This gets even weirder, though. Since every photo of him seems to have been taken and released by the artist Krista Sudmalis, whose ongoing "Sleek'N'Tears" project is his lone credit — and there he is exclusively referred to as "1969" — it's fair to suspect that GigaChad is almost entirely Sudmalis' digital creation.

    "GigaChad" (also known as "Average Enjoyer") is Russian menswear model and bodybuilder Ernest Khalimov. Aside from the "GigaChad" memes, he isn't very well-known. Even in the "Sleek'N'Tears" project, he was exclusively known as "1969," so it's fair that a lot of people are surprised to hear that he's a real person.
