Toby Bear

Definition

Someone whose appearance is notably bear-like in nature—burly, hairy, or generally grizzly in aesthetic. It's simultaneously a description and a nickname, often used in the LGBTQ+ community's 'bear' subculture. Not necessarily an insult unless you're really not into the lumberjack look.

Example Usage

With that full beard and flannel collection, Jake has gone full Toby Bear this winter.
