Okay, so, the other day, I was scrolling through TikTok, like I usually do, and I kept seeing this phrase, “English or Spanish,” popping up in videos and comments. I was like, what the heck does that even mean? I gotta figure this out. It was bugging me, you know?
So, first, I watched a bunch more videos that had that phrase. I tried to see if I could figure it out from the context. Some people were using it in videos about language learning, which made sense. But others were using it in totally random videos, like about cooking or makeup. That didn’t help much.
My Digging Process
Next, I decided to hit up Google. I just typed in “what does the English or Spanish trend mean” and looked at the first few results. It seemed like no one had a good explanation.
Then, I remembered a friend of mine is really into TikTok trends. I texted her and asked if she knew what it meant. She replied that she was not sure, either. She also said it is a popular TikTok trend, and she also said it is hard to understand.
- I watched a ton of videos.
- I searched on Google.
- I asked my friend.
So after doing all of the stuff, I finally realized that this is just a popular trend without any specific meanings. Some people use it for language learning, and some just use it randomly.
It was a bit of a wild goose chase, but at least I know now that I didn’t miss any meanings. It’s just another one of those internet things that makes you scratch your head. And that’s the story of how I spent an afternoon trying to decipher the meaning of “English or Spanish” on TikTok.
