RHINO (squat)

A "RHINO (squat)" is a slang term, primarily used in urban settings and online communities, that refers to a specific pose or posture. The acronym RHINO stands for "Really Huge In Nothing Obvious." When applied to the squat, it suggests a person performing a very deep squat, often to the point where their hamstrings are resting on or very close to their calves, while appearing nonchalant or as if expending little effort. The phrase often carries connotations of athleticism, core strength, and control over one's body weight. The "nothing obvious" portion refers to the subtlety of the effort displayed, implying a hidden or impressive level of strength and balance required to maintain such a deep and seemingly effortless squat. The squat itself might be performed unloaded (without added weight) or with weight (such as a barbell). The term is often used humorously, particularly when someone attempts and fails to execute such a deep squat with apparent ease. Variations of the term may exist, but the core meaning revolves around the display of a deep, controlled squat with an implication of understated athleticism.
