About

The Director Said "Cut!" But X Heard "Cunt" is a catchphrase and phrasal template used to commend an actor or artist for their performance. The phrase was popularized on Twitter by K-Pop stans in August 2022, before the format migrated to TikTok and Instagram in the following weeks. The phrase is derived from the slang term "serving cunt" and is generally paired with a scene from a movie, TV show or music video.
