About

Calc Is Short For Calculator is a catchphrase and series of memes based on a viral video of Kick streamer TurtleDestroyer, aka goodgriefsyt, trolling Call of Duty players by suggesting they can't do basic math without a calculator and consistently reminding his chat that "calc" stands for calculator every time he says the word. The clip was posted to TikTok in September 2023 and was popularized as the subject of memes throughout 2024.

On September 13th, 2023, Tiktoker[1] @goodgriefsyt, also known as TurtleDestroyer on Kick,[2] posted a clip from a Call of Duty stream in which he annoys another player by giving him simple math problems to solve then insisting that he has to be using a calculator, or "calc," to get the answers so fast. Throughout the video he keeps reminding his chat that "calc" stands for "calculator," saying at one point, "If anyone joined the stream recently, calc stands for calculator, I'm just using slang." The video gained over 5.4 million views in a year.
