TikTok is a minefield of different abbreviations, acronyms, slang words, and a blend of words and phrases which sound and feel like they’ve been made up on the spot.
While some are terms that we are familiar with from other social apps, or from life outside the world of social, others appear to exist solely within the boundaries of TikTok.
BSF is one of those which falls into this TikTok-specific category – but it actually hides a very standard, everyday meaning.
On TikTok, BSF means Best Friends.
It is, in short, a more complex version of the ‘BF’ and ‘BFF’ acronyms from a few years ago.
Why Does BSF Exist?
With BSF essentially replacing BF and BFF, you might be wondering what’s the point?!
The most likely explanation is that BSF removes the confusion between BF meaning both Best Friend and Boy Friend.
Suffice to say, BSF is just a slightly longer version of the BF acronym that we are already very familiar with. Whether you choose to use it or not is, at the end of the day, completely up to you.
