A friend of mine on FB showed a Washington Post corrections column that says, "An Oct. 14 Style section incorrectly referred to Navy Capt. Robert Durand as 'thickset.' He should have been described as 'muscular.'"
They shouldn't use the wrong term. He's not rude, they're just wrong.
Thick is the correct term. Thick means when the opposite sides or surfaces are a relatively great distance apart. To be obese LITERALLY means to be thick! Theoretically, overweight could or could not be thick, depends on what "relatively great" means.
The Willamses are not thick. Thicker than average, but their opposing sides are not a relatively great distance apart...
Here all these years I thought "thick" described the gravy that has too much flour or corn starch in it.
I had no idea one could describe a human as thick....who knew

That is incorrect when applying it a woman's body.
The correct usage:
"When a woman's body has weight on it, but not ugly, out of shape weight. More like medium and curvy. A round behind and firm, full legs is considered thick."
