TikTok has witnessed several interesting as well as bizarre terminologies over the years, and the attention of its users is now caught by ‘type timing’, which can be found in many videos, but its meaning remains unknown to many.
Unlike other questionable phrases or hidden meaning behind viral TikTok trends that catch us off-guard or could be found extremely repulsive, many are asking whether “type timing” deserves the hype.
So, without much ado, let us tell you what its meaning is and how it has become popular on TikTok.
Meaning of ‘type timing’, TikTok’s viral term
The term ‘type timing’, which has gone viral on TikTok, simply refers to the act of intercourse, as many users have interpreted it.
It’s hard to tell when it gained popularity, but content creators have been using it for a long time and the term can be found in videos that are from 2021 or earlier.
Type timing is also used as the replacement for words that refer to intercourse, but are censored, or go against TikTok’s community guidelines.
The phrase is mostly found in TikToks that either showcase sexual content in the form of a skit or narration around the same subject, to avoid being banned on the platform.
In comparison to other vulgar terms which the social media platform is infamous for, not many have found issues with type timing.
Social media users have shared mixed reactions
As it’s hard to trace the roots of the viral term, most TikTok users are stuck trying to find out its meaning, while others think it isn’t as shocking as many have perceived it to be.
“I don’t believe anybody really knows what type timing means or you’re just pretending to be shocked because everybody else claims to know,” said one.
Another added: “It could depend on the context, but it just means s*x. I don’t understand why it’s shocking.”
A third user said: “I’ve been trying to figure this out through TikTok for 40 minutes help.”
One content creator has popularized it
TikTok user and comedian Quanos seems to have popularized ‘type timing’ on the platform by using it in most of his eccentric videos.
He has used the term in various hypothetical situations that are highly sexual and NSFW with the intent of humor.
His account has over 720,000 subscribers and many of his skits see him type timing with a ghost in hilarious situations.
