The way we talk is very personal to all of us. We all have our own language and this changes based on who we are with. For example, we also have a different vocabulary for our bestie. TikTok has made this a trend and it’s hilarious. Here’s what you need to know about TikTok’s ‘bestie dictionary’ trend.
What exactly is a bestie dictionary?
Okay, before we can really understand what this trend is, you have to understand the idea behind it. With our best friends we use certain words or phrases that we don’t use with other people. This is a very normal thing to do with people you are close to. The TikTok trend is not only for besties, but also for couples, for example. It’s about using words and phrases that you only use with your best friend in certain situations. Think of ways to greet each other or say goodbye or ways to indicate that you like something (or not).

But how is this applied in a TikTok trend? To make a video, someone writes down a term that is often said within friendship. This person then explains the scenario in which this statement is used. The other person then has to guess which statement it says. The nice thing about the trend is that the correct answer is usually guessed immediately. This allows you to really see how close some friendships are and how unique their own language is that they use with each other. In addition, you can also really see how each set of friends communicates with each other differently. Inside jokes are highlighted in this way, which makes for hilarious TikToks. The trend also shows that there are many friendships that have developed their own language. This is a sign of a very deep friendship.

Would you like to try out the trend yourself with your bestie? Then select a number of terms or phrases that you use very often. Don’t make it too difficult for them. This is a fun way to show the internet how special your friendship is! To make the video even more interesting, you might even add facial expressions or other movements to the line up. Because sometimes as besties you don’t need words to communicate with each other.
