Have a look at the meaning of the thought daughter phrase on TikTok
On TikTok, the phrase “thought daughter” has gained a lot of traction and popularity. Its precise significance is still unknown.
What is the meaning of ‘thought daughter’ term as it goes viral on TikTok
A “thought daughter” is essentially a woman or girl who obsesses about everything. That might apply to a lot of people, regardless of gender, but this particular word originated from a different movement.
A few years back, in 2021 or 2022, there was a fad on TikTok that purportedly challenged users to choose between having “a thot daughter or a gay son.”
The original trend was, at best, insulting; it called young ladies “thots,” a s*xist term for women, and made having a gay son sound like a burden rather than a blessing. Thot, which means “that h*e over there,” was originally recorded on Urban Dictionary in 2012 and is a term from the millennial slang meaning a promiscuous or s*xually liberated woman.
Thinking and “thot” sound similar, therefore many women have started making light of this by joking that even though their parents may have initially wanted a “thot daughter,” they ended up with a “thought daughter” since the fad first became viral on TikTok. It’s similar to the traditional 12-inch pianist joke, but it addresses mental health and feminism.
Reactions of netizens
The video “pov: your parents got confused and chose thought daughter so now every birthday you cry” was posted on TikToker by @catethegreat1224. This will resonate greatly with other girls who cry on their birthdays each year. This is the one day of the year that you want everything to go perfectly and that you want other people to be so happy that you forget to enjoy yourself.
Another TikToker user shared, “Parents chose thought daughter but got confused and had pot daughter who became dependent and turned into no thought daughter so she quit/went to therapy and is now distraught daughter.”
She’s mocking the wordplay’s tendency towards rhyme and similarity in sound while simultaneously suggesting a potential path for a traditional “thought daughter.”
Another user highlighted that, the thought daughter is a thinker. Occasionally, someone may be an overthinker or a “deep thoughts” thinker, but that’s about it. The initial discussion focused on the thot daughter/gay son controversy, claiming that the parents had inadvertently selected thought daughter over thot daughter.
