''Twinkie'' or its more common abbreviation '''''twink''''' is used in Gay Slang to describe a young or young-looking Male , usually of slender build, only slightly muscular, with little or no body hair (often referred to as a "swimmer's build"). Originally the term referred principally to blonds, but among gays the term increasingly includes other young men whose features are those described above, but are not blond or even white (especially latino or Asian). Twinks are sometimes contrasted with Bears . CONNOTATIONS Some view the term as derogatory and Pejorative , implying shallowness and lack of intellect. For others, it is more of a neutral descriptive term. ORIGIN The origin of the term is an allusion to the Twinkie Pastry , which is golden (blond) on the outside with cream on the inside, and is pleasantly sweet but with little nutritional substance. A popular Backronym holds that "twink" stands for " Teenaged , White , into no Kink ," although none of those things is either necessary or sufficient for being a twink. SEE ALSO
