Through its viral videos, TikTok has been able to spread a lot of words, dance routines, and even complete quotes from coast to coast. The more TikTok videos you watch, the more your feed becomes curated for you. And, if you’re new to the app, the majority of the videos have its own “language” and style, which can be pretty confusing to navigate for any newbies.
One thing that many TikTok users use is when they call someone the CEO of something. For example, “I’m the CEO of running late.” Or, even something like, “My boyfriend is the CEO of going through my texts.” Placing the term “CEO of” in front of a task or activity changes the meaning of it entirely.
It so happens that when Gen-Z and Millennials use the phrase “CEO of,” they’re calling someone (or themselves) the best at that specific task (via PrepEng). So, if someone is the “CEO of the Savage dance,” they’re essentially saying that the person is the best at doing the Savage dance.
Clearly, you want someone to call you the CEO of something (just hopefully something good!).
