Body
Body means a person's physical build, especially the parts people are judging when they compliment or hype someone's looks.
In slang, "body" usually shows up when someone is talking about how somebody looks in a very physical, visual way. It can sound admiring, thirsty, or just blunt, and it often points to shape, proportions, and overall presence more than face alone.

What People Mean When They Say Body
When people say someone has a good body, they are usually praising the person's physique: fit, curvy, toned, thick, slim, or otherwise visually striking. It is a body-first compliment, which means the focus is on shape and physical appeal.
The word can also be used in a looser way for general appearance, especially online, where people use it in comments, captions, and fan talk to mean someone looks especially good from the neck down. That makes it sound more blunt than pretty, cute, or handsome.
Where You'll See Body
You will hear this most in casual talk, gym talk, dating apps, thirst comments, and friend-group chatter. It lands fast because it does not waste time being subtle.
It can feel confident and normal when someone is clearly complimenting an adult's appearance. But if it is said too mechanically or in the wrong setting, it can sound objectifying, overly eager, or like someone is trying too hard to sound bold.
Examples You'd Actually See
She definitely has body.
Nah, his body is ridiculous after that cut.
People in the comments were losing it over her body.
Fits the Vibe vs. Trying Too Hard
Works: I saw her post and yeah, she has body.
Avoid: My coworker has body, respectfully, and I think that should be noted.
Is This Still Used?
Yes, body is still very active, especially in casual social media talk. It is common enough to feel current, but it is not a neutral word when used this way.
It carries a strong look-based read, so people notice the tone immediately.
