If you’re wondering about the meaning behind the term, let us tell you, although the phrase itself doesn’t have an actual meaning, however, the platform users are determined to give it one or maybe several.
As we all know, the video-sharing platform is a unique online section where phrases often take on new meanings as TikTok users creatively adapt their language to avoid being banned, leading to terms like “unalived” for “killed” become a part of everyday speech due to algorithmic constraints.
Though this linguistic shift is intriguing, the online platform also spawns some truly bizarre trends and memes that take on lives of their own.
“Septum arms” is one such example. It began with a misunderstanding on a TikTok video about a woman’s arms, where a crude comment sparked the trend.
Origin of Septum Arms Trend
Although currently, no one mentions the original TikTok user who started the conversation. The consensus is that “septum arms” is a nonsensical phrase.
Meanwhile, septum is a dividing wall or membrane, like in nostrils or the heart, and has no connection to arms. It is a yet again case where we see online users making up a phrase into something else entirely.
Despite knowing “septum arms” lacks any real meaning, the platform users are eagerly trying to define it, with many interpretations emerging everyday.
Online Users Define Septum Arms
One such platform user suggest that Septum arms refers to arms being larger above the elbow than below. Another user describe it as the squishiness of arms when lying down.
A third one interpreted it simply as “chubby arms.” Meanwhile, many believes that the phrase’s origin is more complex and relate to self-harm scars on arms. However, let us remind you again that the term itself has no meaning!
