DTN: What does that mean? Explain the TikTok slang
The newest acronym on TikTok, which has always been a hub for the most popular fads and terminologies, is “DTN”. When one trend fades, another quickly emerges to take its place.
DTN or DTNFL is one such term that has been circulating on the platform for some time. But what does that mean?
Don’t Trust No One is referred to as DTN while Don’t Trust No One For Life is referred to as DTNFL.
Users who have experienced terrible treatment or betrayal at the hands of someone they used to trust and cared about most are fueling this trend. It is also used to emphasize the value of self-confidence and having faith in one’s talents rather than depending on others.

It is likely that this statement has the same meaning if you see it on Instagram or Snapchat, for example.
As slang dominates TikTok, the meaning of DTN is explored.
There are many circumstances in which this special jargon, which has a pleasant ring, can be used.
Are you considering starting a joint venture? Consider taking a break and doing some thorough research on your potential companion. Find out what their real motivations are for working with you and what their long-term goals are. Basically you should not trust anyone and make sure your finances are protected.
Are you being offered a price for that old phone by someone that seems too good to be true? It probably sounds too good to be true. Therefore, do not trust anyone and check the equipment yourself, so as not to be trapped with a broken or outdated one.
However, if TikTok posts are to be believed, this fad is mostly used by people going through a difficult breakup or heartbreak. Many of these posts seem to suggest that men are disloyal and more prone to cheating; As a result, the posts advise viewers not to trust and ask them to prevent grief.

Statistics also seem to support this claim. The Institute for Family Research claims
βIn general, men are more likely to cheat than women: 20 percent of men and 13 percent of women reported having had sex with someone other than their spouse during marriage, according to statistics from the latest General Social Survey (GS).β
The study also shows that both men and women are more likely to cheat as they get older. According to the survey, men between the ages of 50 and 59 are more likely to be unfaithful than women between the ages of 40 and 49.
In addition to the new jargon, other words from TikTok have also made their way into online speech and are gaining popularity.
For example, becoming the CEO of something means you are superior in that particular area. One of my friends/followers or OOMF is a term commonly used on TikTok. “No cap” means truthfulness, but “spill the tea” means spreading rumors about someone.
