What does NNN mean on TikTok?

As we cross into November for 2023, NNN is back and taking over TikTok. But for the uninitiated, you may be scratching your head as to what everyone is talking about when they say ‘nnn’. So, to clear it up once and for all, here is what NNN means.

Each year, just after Halloween, a new holiday of sorts begins. Unfortunately, this holiday isn’t known for being much fun, but rather it is a challenge.

The challenge is mainly only for men, although women can also participate, and it is often dubbed NNN.

Of course this acronym isn’t all that helpful, and often the videos that use it won’t do much to explain it either, so here’s what NNN means.

What does NNN stand for?

NNN means ‘No Nut November.‘

Thankfully, for fans of cashews, peanuts, and almonds, you don’t need to worry. You can consume as many tasty nuts and legumes as you wish this November.

Instead, NNN (No Nut November) is about a more personal and private choice – or rather a challenge.

NNN is the challenge of going entirely celibate for a month, and some consider it a healthy practice to attempt at least once a year, just for this month of November.

NNN goes viral on TikTok

Although NNN (No Nut November) has been a popular thing every year for a long time, the rise of TikTok has brought it to an entirely new audience.

You may have seen users talking about if they are going to participate in NNN, or if they deem it too difficult to do or not worth the effort.

Now at least, you’ll know what everyone is talking about when they say they’ve already failed NNN.

Whether you attempt NNN yourself is of course entirely up to you (and perhaps your significant other), but you’re bound to come across others online discussing their own attempt.
