Who Runs This

LAOWANG. One person, too many TikTok tabs open.

I started collecting slang in 2024 because I kept seeing words in comments I didn’t understand, and existing dictionaries were either outdated or written by people who don’t actually use the app. This site is my attempt to document terms while they’re still relevant — usually a week or two before they peak and a month before they die.

What I Actually Do

  • Scroll TikTok (obviously)
  • Read comment sections and stitch responses
  • Track which terms show up across multiple creators
  • Update entries when meanings shift

Why This Exists

Most “Gen Z slang” articles are written by people who don’t use the app. I write from inside the app. That’s the difference.
