Many casual users of social media are unaware of the meaning of the phrase Blud. It has swept the world by storm.
What is the meaning of Blud in chat, on TikTok and Twitter/X as slang meme goes viral
Every day, new words and trends emerge on Tiktok, the ever-changing trend station. These new expressions, which include “Bombastic Side Eye,” “W,” “Rizz,” and “Let him cook,” have unleashed a number of new slang terms that have taken the world by storm. The most recent looks to be a British export.
The recently trending phrase Blud is an alternate British colloquialism for the affectionate term for friends in America, “bro” or “brother.”
The most often used definition of the word in the urban dictionary is just “Mate,” which is another colloquial term for friends in Britain.
The words “Blood Brother” and “Bredren” are the sources of the word which originated in Jamaican culture. It was originally a curse term, but the British eventually gave it the well-known, family-friendly connotation of “bro.”

Where is ‘Blud’ used?
Blud is gradually replacing ‘Bro’ as the official meme-dominant image, showing up in areas where the latter was often utilised. It frequently appears in social media meme captions. Memes often describe an individual or animal behaving strangely or uncharacteristically in any given circumstance.
The popular versions of the memes centred around the extremely popular word are “What is Blud doing?” and “Who Invited Blud?”

In private conversations, friends may also use this phrase as a greeting. What up blud? or the more widely used version ‘Wah Gwaan Blud’ has replaced the immensely frequent and stale ‘What’s up bro?’ Another greeting with Jamaican roots is “Wah Gwaan,” which was made famous by the British and is used instead of “What’s up.”
‘Bro’ has been a constant in pop culture and meme culture since the early 2000s, and it hasn’t really had much competition. Is this new, popular British commodity finally replacing the ubiquitous American bro as the go-to greeting in memes, or is it just another fad that will eventually go away like toilet paper? Tiktok and time will tell.
