TikTok slang moves fast, and most of it is short because comments and captions are short. The terms people search for most are: **PMO** (put me on, or pisses me off), **ASL** (as hell), **IB** (inspired by), **TS** (this sh\*t), **moots** (mutual followers), **LMR** (like my recent) and **FYP** (For You page). The full list, with examples, is below.

Meanings shift with context, and many acronyms have a second meaning outside TikTok. When in doubt, read the comments under the video: the replies usually make it clear.

## What does PMO mean on TikTok?

PMO has two common meanings. **"Put me on"** asks someone to share or recommend something: "pmo to the song in this video." **"Pisses me off"** vents annoyance: "ts pmo." Which one is meant is usually obvious from the tone.

## What does ASL mean on TikTok?

On TikTok, ASL almost always means **"as hell"**: "tired asl," "funny asl." Elsewhere it can mean American Sign Language, or the old chat-room question "age, sex, location?"

## What does IB mean on TikTok?

IB means **"inspired by."** Creators write "ib: @username" in a caption to credit the person whose idea, format or dance they copied. It's often seen next to "dc" (dance credit). Under student content, #ib can also refer to the International Baccalaureate.

## What does OAT mean on TikTok?

OAT usually means **"of all time,"** a casual cut-down of GOAT (greatest of all time): "best album oat." You'll see it most in gaming and sports comments.

## What does SYFM mean on TikTok?

SYFM stands for **"shut your f\*\*\*ing mouth."** It's blunt and often used jokingly between friends, sometimes as a reaction to a viral audio clip of someone yelling it. Between strangers it reads as hostile.

## What does TEST mean on TikTok?

TEST isn't a settled acronym on TikTok. Most of the time it's literal: someone is testing a feature, a sound or a post. In gym and fitness content, "test" is short for testosterone. If it's in all capitals under a trend, it's usually an inside joke tied to that trend, and the comments will explain it.

## What does TS mean on TikTok?

TS usually means **"this sh\*t,"** as in "ts so funny" or "ts pmo" (this pisses me off). Under music content, TS can also mean Taylor Swift.

## What does moot or moots mean on TikTok?

A moot is a **mutual**: someone who follows you and whom you follow back. "Moots only" means a post or live is meant for mutual followers. The term came from Twitter and spread to TikTok.

## What does LMR mean on TikTok?

LMR means **"like my recent,"** a request to like the person's newest post, usually in comments or messages to boost engagement.

## What does OD mean on TikTok?

OD comes from "overdose" but on TikTok means **overdoing it** or simply **very**: "this is OD funny" (extremely funny), "stop OD'ing" (stop being dramatic).

## What does bop mean on TikTok?

A bop is a **catchy, fun song**: "this sound is a bop." More recently some creators use "bop" as an insult for a person, mostly aimed at girls, so it can be negative depending on who's talking about whom.

## What does BMF mean on TikTok?

BMF most often means **"bad mother\*\*\*er,"** praise for someone confident or impressive. It's also the name of a TV series and a rap track, so music comments may mean those instead.

## What does EYP mean on TikTok?

EYP is a **sexual acronym** used to get past TikTok's filters. It shows up in crude jokes and meme comments. It isn't something to use in brand or professional content.

## What does HB mean on TikTok?

HB usually means **"happy birthday."** In a dating or appearance context it can also be shorthand for "hot boy."

## What does MYF mean on TikTok?

MYF most often means **"my fault,"** a quick apology. Some people use it for "mind your f\*\*\*ing business," so check the tone.

## What does SSA mean on TikTok?

On TikTok, SSA is usually **"ass" spelled backwards**, used to dodge word filters. In news or finance content it can still mean the US Social Security Administration.

## What does WLW mean on TikTok?

WLW stands for **"women loving women,"** an umbrella term for women attracted to women, used in LGBTQ+ content and tags.

## What does pink font mean on TikTok?

Pink font is a **caption trend** that started in late 2025. Creators write romantic, longing or vulnerable thoughts in pink text: crushes, situationships, people who won't text back. It's the softer sibling of the **yellow font** trend, which is used for raw, introspective confessions. It isn't a TikTok feature, just a text colour people agreed on.

## What does FYP mean on TikTok?

FYP is the **For You page**, TikTok's main recommendation feed. People add #fyp to captions hoping to land there, though the hashtag itself doesn't get you onto it. Our guide to [going viral on TikTok](https://scheduleforyou.com/blog/how-to-go-viral-on-tiktok) covers what does.

## Using slang in brand content

Slang lands when it sounds like you and badly when it sounds borrowed. A few rules for businesses and creators:

- Use terms your audience already uses in your comments.
- Skip anything crude or filter-dodging (EYP, SSA, SYFM) in brand posts.
- Don't rely on a term in the hook if half your audience won't know it.
- Check meanings before posting; they change quickly.
