OBCD: What is the viral TikTok slang all about? Who made it popular?
The slang OBCD has recently caused quite a buzz on TikTok, with many Gen-Z TikTokers frequently using the term on various social media platforms.
#OBCD isn't an acronym, unlike well-known hashtags like #GRWM, #FYP, and #POV, which stand for "go ready with me," "for you page," and "point of view," respectively. While the earliest use of the phrase can be found in 2008, its use spread in August 2022, thanks to YouTube personality Nikocado Avocado.

What Does OBCD Mean on TikTok?
To know what OBCD means, all you really have to do is say the acronym out loud. You will get to know it once you say it. When spoken, the letters "OBCD" sound like the word "obesity" and that's exactly how the term is used online. It's a kind of funny way to say "obesity" that combines the word with the acronym "OCD," which stands for "obsessive-compulsive disorder."
On TikTok, OBCD stands for obesity. In contrast to various other famous acronyms like GYAT, OF, and others, Nikocado Avocado, a YouTube personality, made this phrase famous as a joke. The phrase gained fame when Nikocado displayed his pantry, which had a variety of noodle flavors. While discussing this collection, the YouTuber admitted that he suffered from OCD, which caused him to meticulously organize his whole closet.
The person behind the camera, who was making the video then responded, playing with the word "obesity," "you mean OBCD." Others quickly jumped on this as the phrase gradually gained popularity.
The TikTok hashtag is making waves on the app when it's added to videos of chubby animals, cartoon characters, and even expanding makeup collections (people are getting creative with it).
