TikToks
Viral phone videos
TikToks are short videos posted on TikTok, the social media platform.
The format typically runs fifteen seconds to a few minutes, featuring music, comedy, dance, tutorials, or commentary.
The term often appears as a count noun: I spent an hour watching TikToks, She posts TikToks about her cats.
The plural emphasizes individual pieces of content rather than the platform itself.
