I wouldn't argue that I fit the category of "Jacked" if I wasn't repeatedly called it by various people over the course of the past few years. That was a classification other people gave to me. The thing about single-word descriptions of physiques is that it's somewhat fluent in how the word can be applied, depending on how frequently you encounter people with bigger and/or more muscular builds.There is no single, objective definition of a casually-used word in the world of muscly body types, but if many, many people say "You are jacked" to me, then the word tends to stick. I think you're overestimating the kind of body that's needed to be off-handedly referred to as that word. It typically just describes someone with much bigger muscles than average, so you can apply it to a big range of people. It's not as hyperbolic as you'd lend yourself to believe, and that's partially because you aren't particularly immersed in gym culture and terminology. The word isn't a huge compliment. But this is a goofy thing to argue over, the word used to describe what my body looks like to most people isn't all that important.
