If there's one thing people on sex on an airplane videothe internet love doing, it's showing off — in all its various forms, like flexing (literal or not), humble-bragging, fishing for compliments, whatever. Hell, Instagram became popular for this very reason. TikTok's latest trend is more of the same.
People all over TikTok are posting about their "holy f-ing airballs." You might be wondering what that means, which is fair because it's a pretty nonsensical phrase. The trend basically goes like this: 1) post something about yourself 2) post someone's incorrect expectation of that thing 3) call that expectation a "holy f-ing airball." (For the non-sports people, an "airball" is when you completely miss a shot.)
Typically speaking, the point of the post is to say something like, "Oh, you thought I'm a runner who likes to do fun 5Ks, well, joke's on you, I'm a world-class marathoner." The idea is to subvert expectations in a way that's likely a brag — lots of viral posts, for one reason or another, seem to also subvert the idea that folks would think they're right-wingers. Here are a few popular examples of the trend.
