-cc

Origin unclear. Claims include that it is a method of avoiding profanity filters, it is to avoid the letters "ck" as they could represent "Crip killer" to US gang the Crips, or it is intended to emphasise the "k" sound. Popularised by the most common word to include the suffix, thicc.

• IPA^(key): /k/

-cc

1. (Internet slang, humorous) Used to replace "ck" at the end of a word. Does not alter the definition (apart from making words jocular), nor the pronunciation.
