CONT

Adjectif dérivé de fat, c'est-à-dire gras, ou opulent. Employé pour caractériser une musique (ou, en extrapolant, toute autre forme d'art populaire) qui est appréciée. Aujourd'hui utilisé à toutes les sauces par la nouvelle génération, phat est à notre époque ce que blood était aux années 80. «As-tu entendu le nouveau disque de Yvon Krevé? C'est vraiment phat!».
