Tik Tok slang words are those words invented by teenagers which they use to have a conversation. Lots of older people have problem with this and think it’s a murder of the language but in my opinion, language is created to communicate and there’s nothing wrong with using slangs if they can understand what each other are saying.
Gen Z people are mostly known for creating slangs and this became popular extensively because of the internet, messaging apps, and so on. Because while texting, it is much easier to say “Gn” rather than Good Night. Moreover, memes also popularize this trend of using slang words.
Tik Tok Slang Words
Slangs are the words that are informal and used by a specific group of people by recontextualizing the meaning of a particular word- especially by making it short. Slangs on Tik Tok are the same as slangs elsewhere. These slang words are used all over the internet- memes, messaging, texting, and definitely Tik Tok and other video sharing apps.

If you look at this video, you will find #lol and #oop in the hashtags section. These both are slang words. Lol means Laugh out Lous and it is used to represent a situation so funny that you have to laugh out loud.
Similarly, oop means Out Of Place. It means a mistake or an awkward situation. So if teenagers need to say something is awkward and a little abnormal, they say it’s out of place aka OOP!!

Tik Tok Slang Meaning Explained
It’s not that hard to understand the meaning of slang words on Tik Tok. The rise of slang words to prominence is also due to the use of hashtags on Tik Tok. Because hashtags are important ways to make your video viral, people used hashtags and they sort of became these slang terms. For eg: it is much easier to say #oop rather than #awkward or #outofplace.
But the real reason and the most important reason behind using slang is just how easy it is to communicate with slangs. Different slang terms have their own meanings and sometimes same slang terms also have different meanings depending upon the context it’s being used in.
