The NSFW Coconut Challenge has made it's return to social media thanks to a viral TikTok video. (And it's got absolutely nothing to do with actual coconuts.)
The whole 'coconut challenge' thing actually went viral way back in 2019. According to Know Your Meme, it first popped up on the internet on Twitter on Valentine's Day 2019. Shortly after that, "spell coconut" memes started doing the rounds on social media with people making jokes about the whole thing.
Now, it's resurfaced on TikTok and people who don't already know about it are absolutely baffled by what it means. Here's your explainer about the 'challenge'

So, why has the 'coconut challenge' gone viral on TikTok all over again? It seems to be all thanks to an old clip of Cardi B from 2020 that has blown up on the platform.
Posted by @bardi_song, the clip shows an old Instagram Live video of Cardi listening to 'WAP' and talking about how Megan Thee Stallion is "going to do the coconut challenge on the d---". Cardi then falls to the floor and jokingly shouts, "This is bitch is nasty! You nasty bitch!"
The clip has been viewed by 4 million people and has over 1 million likes. And of course, the comment section is full of people wondering what the hell Cardi is talking about. What is the 'coconut challenge'?!
Well, for those who really want to know... The 'coconut challenge' is a trend where you spell out the word 'coconut' with your hips while you're on top during sex, and it's supposed to give your partner maximum pleasure.
People are also coming back to the comments on the video after finding out what the challenge actually is, and their reactions are hilarious.
"Just me causally googling the coconut challenge 😂 my browser history is horrible thanks to tiktok," one user wrote. Another added: "Please, I would forget how to spell coconut."

One thing about TikTok: People will use code words to discuss certain dating topics and they will gatekeep the meaning behind what they're actually talking about, leaving you to scroll through the comment section looking for an explanation.
Over the past few weeks, you may have seen a number of viral TikTok videos of girls talking about 'mascara' with lengthy captions discussing how much they like their mascara, how long they've had their mascara or how their mascara has betrayed them.
Based on the comments and context of the captions, it's clear that these videos are not about actual mascara. These videos are actually about relationships, and 'mascara' is being used as a code word for someone's partner. Here's what it all means.

Yep, 'mascara' is basically your partner. Doesn't matter if you're dating them, if you're married to them... it's whoever you love most in a romantic way.
The majority of the videos and the comments refer to male partners, with some commenting that their mascara "stuck its wand into other tubes" (the wand being code for "penis", in case you needed that explaining too). Other comments also point out that their mascara "doesn't have a wand", meaning their partner doesn't have a penis.
Some of the video captions include stories about their long-term relationships, like this user's childhood sweetheart story: "I've had my mascara since I was 14. I'm now 24. Only mascara I've ever tried but I know there's this one anywhere else. I even made a smaller version because I like it so much."
On the flip side, people are also using the trend to talk about the times their partner has hurt them. One user captioned her video writing: "The one mascara I ever really liked ended up damaging my eyelashes really badly so now I'm too scared to try any new mascaras because I can't take my eyelashes being damaged again."
For the record, using the same mascara – actual mascara, that is – for more than the suggested shelf life stated on the packaging is not recommended. Buy a new one, babes!
