TikTok has led to the creation of a ton of new slang terms by the Gen-Z audience.

Because of the rapid rise of these terms, it can be difficult to keep up with their meanings.
In this guide, you’ll learn what the “Boombayah” comment means on TikTok and where it comes from (Blackpink).
What does Boombayah mean on TikTok?
Boombayah means s*x on TikTok, which is commonly used by K-pop fans around the world.
This slang term is used to bypass TikTok’s inappropriate language filter.
It’s typically commented under risqué videos (containing s*xual themes).
Here’s an example of a sentence, “Bro, I just saw them do the Boombayah, that’s crazy!”.
Where did Boombayah come from?
Boombayah is a song that came from the South Korean girl group, Blackpink.
It was released on August 8, 2016, and became the K-pop debut music video to get 1 billion views on YouTube.
Boombayah was originally supposed to be “Oppayah”, but Jisoo said that they were using “Oppa” too much in the song.
Because of this, Blackpink changed “Oppayah” to “Boombayah”, which is not an actual word.
Instead, Boombayah is an onomatopoeia that expresses excitement and enthusiasm.
