The Rise of the Snowball Kiss Trend: How Tiktok Resurfaced the Slang
By James H. Sterling
Q1: What does a snowball kiss mean in internet slang?
The term refers to an adult sexual act where a partner receives ejaculate in their mouth during oral sex and transfers it into another partner's mouth via a deep kiss. It is also commonly known simply as "snowballing."
Q2: Why did the snowball kiss trend blow up on TikTok?
The phrase went viral due to the "don't google challenge" format. Content creators posted short videos displaying extreme shock after searching the phrase, deliberately withholding the definition to provoke viewers into searching it themselves.
Q3: Where did the phrase originate before social media?
The term originated decades ago in adult entertainment and LGBTQ+ vernacular before entering mainstream awareness through Kevin Smith's 1994 independent film Clerks, where the characters openly discuss the concept.
