It’s cum. Jizz. Semen. Ejaculate.
Saltyicream, the TikTok meme the internet keeps scratching their heads over, is cum. It’s several day old, cold, cum that is for some reason around. We’re seeing extremely high rates of people googling Salty ice cream TikTok meaning, and we take no delight in informing you that it’s old semen.
Searching any hashtag around the subject like salt icecream or #saltyicecream results in dozens of videos of people recording their reactions to learning the term’s true meaning. A little ditty plays, because it’s not a TikTok trend unless there’s a sound, and the shock and horror on their faces says it all.
These videos have hundreds of thousands of likes, thousands of comments, and countless views. The raw shock of learning this Urban Dictionary slang term of the month is reverberating across social media.
The top performing video under the tag comes from user @jordanflwrs, who posted her own reaction back in October. Since then, the trend has exploded out like a geyser onto the stomach of the world where it’s sat and gotten cold for a few days.
TikTok’s terms of service obviously prohibits anyone from posting images, but plenty of bait and hook videos out there are attempting to convince people to search it because “it’s just ice cream!” This is a lie, a falsehood, and an engagement tactic. Do not image search it unless you’re that eager to see cum.
Urban Dictionary’s been around since 1999, and ever since middle schoolers around the globe have turned outrageous unknown terms into viral pearl clutching moments. Where the term comes from (ha, comes) is unclear. What is clear, is that this will never end.
As long as ornery middle school boys exist, so too shall silly terms no one actually uses. Previous terms that blew up include Donkey Punch, Dirty Sanchez, and of course Bussy. This particular term just overlaps with the existence of TikTok, an app for ornery middle schoolers, which skyrocketed it into popularity.
This is nothing new, nor is it really news. It’s just like old cum. Something that grosses you out in the moment, and then you try to forget about it and move on with your life.
