How about "thick" and "thicc" being 2 separate terms and having different origins?

Why should they relate? I've only ever heard "thicc" being used on the internet.

how would you be able to tell the difference in spoken language?

You can absolutely tell the difference because “thicc” comes with gesticulations indicating the outer bounds of the x-axis of the subject’s frame

Furthermore, additional C’s and/or spaces between each letter requires the gesticulations to include the outer bounds of the Y-axis

Cause you'd say "Thick with 3 C's"
