Tung Tung Tung Sahur
AI-generated meme creature (wooden figure with baseball bat) that "punishes" people who skip the pre-dawn Ramadan meal
TikTok
Character adopted into Roblox game "Steal a Brainrot"; copyright dispute between creator @noxaasht and game developers in Sep 2025
Initially resonated with Indonesian/Malaysian Muslim communities during Ramadan 2025; crossed over globally as part of Italian brainrot universe; used as humorous "threat" to wake people for sahur; spawned lore, fan art, tattoos, and farewell videos when Ramadan ended
AI-generated wooden stick-man with baseball bat paired with Indonesian TTS voiceover; users created dramatic lore videos, crossover battles (vs Brr Brr Patapim), pencil drawings, and "goodbye" tributes; original video by @noxaasht got 42.5M+ views
R5
Cultural risk variant: rooted in Indonesian Islamic Ramadan traditions (bedug drumming for sahur); cultural and religious significance is lost or trivialized when shared globally as absurdist brainrot; meaning is entirely culture/religion-dependent; non-Muslim/non-Indonesian users share it stripped of context
Created Feb 28, 2025 by TikToker @noxaasht; "tung tung" = onomatopoeia for bedug/kentongan drum; "sahur" = pre-dawn Ramadan meal; 42.5M views on original; part of broader Italian/Indonesian brainrot universe alongside Bombardiro Crocodilo and Tralalero Tralala; farewell videos posted as Ramadan 2025 ended; copyright di...

Bombardiro crocodilo
AI-generated meme creature (crocodile fused with military bomber plane); part of the Italian brainrot universe
TikTok
Characters adopted into fan-made game scenarios and AI cutscenes; crossover "battles" between Italian brainrot characters treated as lore
Shared as absurdist humor but underlying Italian narration contains blasphemy (cursing God and Allah), references to bombing children in Israel/Palestine, and misogynistic language; most non-Italian speakers share it unaware of offensive subtext
AI-generated imagery paired with Italian TTS narration; users create fake lore, dramatic "reveal" reactions, and crossover battle videos; part of interconnected universe (Tralalero Tralala, Bombombini Gusini, Brr Brr Patapim, etc.)
R5
Cultural risk variant: original Italian narration contains anti-Islamic blasphemy, references to bombing Palestinian children, and vulgar language that non-Italian speakers unknowingly spread; meaning and offense are entirely language/culture-dependent; flagged as Islamophobic by critics

6 7
Meaningless brainrot chant shouted as an exclamation or used as a vague rating; no fixed meaning
TikTok
Used in basketball highlight edits, especially of LaMelo Ball (who is 6'7"); NBA/WNBA coverage and NFL touchdown celebrations have adopted the gesture
Dictionary.com's 2025 Word of the Year; kids shout it in schools, at sporting events, whenever they encounter the numbers; accompanied by a signature hand gesture (palms up, weighing motion); the "67 Kid" (Maverick Trevillian) went viral Mar 2025; described as "annoying" and "like a plague" by media
Originated in basketball edits of LaMelo Ball on TikTok/Instagram Dec 2024-Jan 2025; Taylen "TK" Kinney (Overtime Elite) popularized the gesture; used as backing audio for sports highlights; South Park episode referenced it

Fact got
Algospeak for "faggot"; deliberately misspelled to bypass content moderation filters
TikTok
Used in gaming chat and Discord to evade word filters while directing homophobic abuse at other players
Dropped in TikTok comment sections as a homophobic slur disguised through phonetic respelling; part of broader algospeak phenomenon where users modify slurs to evade automated content moderation (like "le$bean" for lesbian, "unalive" for kill)
Appears in comments targeting LGBTQ+ creators or any content perceived as feminine/queer; designed to be recognizable to human readers while invisible to automated moderation

Bro got slimed
Someone was betrayed, double-crossed, or violently retaliated against by someone they trusted
Cross-platform
Scammed or backstabbed in a trade or team context; lightest usage of the term, meaning someone got cheated in-game
Betrayed by a close friend or associate; in street/drill culture can imply being robbed or killed by someone trusted; Drake's "Slime You Out" (2023) added sexual/romantic manipulation connotation; TikTok "National Slime Out Your Homeboy Day" (Feb 26) trivializes the concept
Commentary on betrayal situations; used in drill/rap lyric analysis; reaction videos about loyalty and backstabbing; also used in lighter TikTok contexts about ghosting or petty social exclusion
R4
Platform-specific: in gaming means getting scammed in a trade (low stakes); on social media can mean ghosting or petty exclusion (mild); in street/drill culture can mean being robbed or killed by an associate (extreme); interpretation varies drastically by platform and community context
"Slime" as term of endearment popularized by Young Thug/YSL (Young Stoner Life) in 2010s Atlanta rap; SLATT = Slime Love All The Time; "slimed out" = betrayed by close associate, potentially violently; Drake & SZA's "Slime You Out" (2023) added romantic manipulation meaning; Gen Z/Alpha adoption softened it to mean gho...

Telling someone to jump off something (bridge, building); coded way of telling someone to kill themselves

Typed in chat as a one-word directive telling someone to kill themselves; harder to moderate than "kys" because "jump" has legitimate gaming meanings (jump in-game)
Used as a standalone imperative directed at someone — "jump" with the implied "off something" understood; functions as suicide encouragement similar to kys but harder for filters to catch because "jump" is a common English word

Direct harm: suicide-baiting; functionally equivalent to "kys" but using a common word that evades content moderation filters; the implied "off a bridge/building" is understood without being stated
"Go jump off a bridge" has existed as a dismissive phrase for decades; Gen Alpha shortened to just "jump" as a standalone imperative with the suicide implication intact; the abbreviation makes it harder for content moderation to detect compared to explicit phrases like "kys" or "kill yourself"

Platform-specific: in gaming communities refers to playing Smash Bros or beating an opponent (benign); on social media is a sexual judgment on someone's fuckability (objectifying); when minors use it about peers or adults, normalizes sexual evaluation of people as a game format
"Smash" as sex slang predates the internet; "smash or pass" game format gained massive TikTok traction ~2022-2023; applied to everything from classmates to fictional characters to teachers; format normalizes reducing people to binary sexual judgments; ambiguity with Super Smash Bros gives it plausible deniability in sc...

Can I hit
Asking to have sex with someone; also asking to use someone's vape — meaning depends entirely on context
Cross-platform
Used in gaming voice chat as either sexual proposition or request to share a vape; ambiguity is often intentional
Sexual proposition when directed at a person ("can I hit?"); vaping request when directed at a device ("can I hit your pen?"); the dual meaning creates plausible deniability — if rejected sexually, the speaker can claim they meant the vape
Comments on attractive creators' videos; also appears in vaping culture content; the ambiguity between sex and vaping is a recurring joke format
R4
Platform-specific: on vaping TikTok it's a request to use someone's device (substance-related but not sexual); in DMs or comments directed at a person it's a sexual proposition; the dual meaning is often exploited for plausible deniability; both meanings carry risk (sexual solicitation or underage substance use) but in...
"Hit" as sex slang (older); "hit" as vaping term (2010s+, documented in tobacco/nicotine slang guides); the convergence creates a uniquely ambiguous expression where the speaker can retreat to the innocent meaning if challenged; similar mechanism to "can I crack" but with vaping as the alternative interpretation

I'd tap that
Expressing desire to have sex with someone based on their appearance
Cross-platform
Used in voice chat or comments reacting to attractive characters or players
Directed at photos/videos of people as a sexual evaluation; reduces the person to a sexual object; typically said about someone not present or in third-person
Comment on videos of attractive people; used in "would you tap?" format similar to smash or pass
R2
Masked negativity: objectification of people concealed through casual/humorous phrasing; reduces person to sexual availability; the playful tone masks what is functionally a public sexual evaluation of someone's body
"Tap" as sex slang dates to at least 2000s; "I'd tap that" was already established slang before Gen Alpha; persists as one of the more direct sexual objectification phrases still in active use; less coded than "smash" or "can I hit" — the sexual meaning is essentially the only meaning
