Every day, social media platforms bring new acronyms and slang terms and it’s easy to lose track of these new terms.
The latest one appearing on TikTok and Snapchat is the “WYLL” – but what does it mean and how to you use it?
1
What does WYLL mean?
WYLL is the acronym for “what you look like” – a term used when a TikTok or Snapchat user wants to know more about you on the app.
WYLL can also be used when someone does something that seems unwise, so it could be translated to: “you look like a clown”.
When should you say WYLL?
There is no specific time when you should say WYLL.
If you start interacting with someone new, and you are curious about them, go ahead and sue WYLL.
If you think a friend or someone you follow acts in a way that you find foolish, you can also let them know by using WYLL.
How do you respond to someone saying WYLL?
There are many ways to reply when someone says WYLL to you.
First, you could respond by sending a photo or video of yourself. If you don’t feel comfortable doing that, you can reply using words to describe yourself.
WYLL can also be a question about your personality, so feel free to describe your character too.
If someone is using WYLL because you have done something they find absurd, don’t get offended: you can reply with humour, or explain your decision calmly in words.
