Kiki
Informal social event
Kiki is a casual social gathering, typically among friends, characterized by lively conversation, gossip, and laughter.
The term originated in Black and LGBTQ+ communities and gained wider recognition through ballroom culture.
A kiki is lighter and more spontaneous than a formal party—just hanging out and having a good time.
We're having a kiki at my place tonight.
The word can also function as a verb: Let's kiki and catch up.
