The suffix that turns any subject into a side of TikTok — -Tok — as the 2020 habit of naming communities by their hashtag, so that books became BookTok, cleaning became CleanTok, and the record's own corner is presumably DictionaryTok. The record's entry for the most productive syllable of the decade.
Not every -Tok is real. Many are coined by journalists in the headline, and the record notes 'FinTok' and 'MoneyTok' were mostly seen in reports about them.
The record notes the -Tok suffix succeeded the Tumblr '-blr' (studyblr, fitblr) and the Twitter '-Twitter' (Black Twitter, Weird Twitter), and that each platform gets one and then a ban threat.
Personal note for the archive: I have used -Tok (Suffix) unironically at least twice this week. Reporting this honestly because the record depends on people admitting it.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
