TikTok Slang

TikTok slang is language built for performance, repetition, and remixing. It spreads through short videos, viral sounds, captions, and comment sections where meaning is shaped by trends rather than dictionaries.

This section collects slang terms that are strongly associated with TikTok culture and explains how they work on the platform.

If you’ve seen phrases like six seven, main character energy, touch grass, periodt, or big yikes, you’re already encountering TikTok slang.

These terms often gain meaning from how creators use them in videos, not just what the words say.
A single phrase can signal humor, sarcasm, or commentary depending on the trend behind it.

Posts under this tag focus on platform context. Each guide explains the core meaning, shows how the slang appears in typical TikTok formats, and highlights common remix styles.

We also note whether a term is still trending or has already peaked, helping readers understand whether it’s active slang or cultural residue.

TikTok slang frequently overlaps with Gen Z and Gen Alpha language because TikTok is where many terms are amplified or reborn.

This tag doesn’t try to isolate slang by age. Instead, it explains how TikTok shapes language and why certain words spread so fast.

If you want to understand TikTok captions, comments, and trends without being lost, this tag gives you clear definitions, real examples, and cultural context.
