About

The Twink Pouch and When Twinks Get This Little Pouch It Means They Got a Turd in the Chamber refer to a viral tweet shared by Twitter / X user @draingardens that attached a photo of actor Timothée Chalamet with a small bump in his lower abdomen circled. The protrusion was said to be a "turd" yet to be excreted akin to a stereotype that "twinks" who have a small bump in their lower abdomen (that disrupts their otherwise skinny profile) need to poop.
