What Does 'Wienering' Mean On TikTok? The Viral Slang Term's Meaning Explained

Another day, another slang term is going viral on TikTok. This time around, the term is "wienering," and it's being thrown around in videos in which a person prepares or buys a sweet treat for someone who is particularly skilled at wienering.

But what does "wienering" even mean and why is it going viral on TikTok? Here's what you need to know.

What Does 'Wienering' Mean?

The term "wienering" first started popping up on social media as early as 2019. There are several definitions for "wienering" on sites like Urban Dictionary, but in the relevant, modern context, "wienering" is a euphemism for getting intimate. If someone has "had a good wienering," it means they've been intimate with someone and had a good time while doing it.

The term spread slowly across the internet throughout the late 2010s and early 2020s. It didn't really take off until recently though, when the term made its way to TikTok, where all good slang terms go to thrive these days.

How Is 'Wienering' Used In Memes?

While the term has been used online for years, it was popularized on TikTok in mid-2024. Mainly, it was popularized through a series of memes in which users award people who have given them a "respectable wienering" with things like baked goods, coffee and other sweet treats.

The majority of these videos show the user baking, cooking or buying something for the "wiener-er." Beyond these memes, the term has popped up online in a variety of image macros and more traditional meme formats as a comedic euphemism.
