TikTok is home to a plethora of trends, hacks, acronyms, and abbreviations, not all of which are positive.
Some users, such as Charli D’Amelio, Khaby Lame, and Addison Rae, have become online celebrities as a result of it. The bulk of people who use the site, on the other hand, are merely trying to make sense of all of the new slang phrases and acronyms that are going about.
