What is Torta meaning in Slang?

[Camila]

I’ve seen the word torta used as slang in online conversations and comments, but the meaning isn’t very clear to me. I know it’s a common food term in some cultures, yet the slang usage feels different. Can anyone explain the torta meaning slang, its context, and how people usually use it today?

Torta, in slang, can mean different things depending on the region:

• Mexico: A sandwich
• In some contexts, it refers to a chubby/overweight person (can be rude).

Slang meaning always depends on the tone and region.

In modern slang, particularly within some Latino communities and on social media, "Torta" is often used as a derogatory or mocking term for a person who is overweight. It literally translates to a sandwich or cake in Spanish, but in this informal context, it is used to body-shame. Because of its offensive nature, it is important to be aware of the context to avoid being disrespectful.
