What is Body count? Many netizens asked this question because of the viral video on TikTok.
Body count can be said to be slang used by social media users in communicating. But don't use it wrongly because it can offend the person being questioned.
Body count comes from English which, when translated into Indonesian, means body count. In media or military terms, a body count is used to reveal how many people died in a given situation.
However, the meaning of the body count that is currently viral on TikTok is much different, tends to have a negative connotation.
The term body count on TikTok is used to ask or mention the number of people who have been invited to have sex.
In viral videos, teenagers often answer questions in public places. Guys will usually joke around by answering with a high number.
When asked by girls, they usually answer with numbers that are close to the original numbers or tend to be more honest than the boys who are asked.
Although intended as a joke, it is an easy way for some people to embarrass those who are asked in the video about their sexual history.
Some people believe that this really doesn't need to be discussed or asked of other people. Often, someone wants to know how much 'body count' their partner has, especially when the romantic relationship is just established.
But actually, this is not required to be asked. Instead of asking about body counts, there are many things that are more appropriate to ask your partner in order to get acquainted or establish intimacy.
Because the meaning is quite sensitive, it is recommended to use the word body count not carelessly. If used carelessly it can actually cause misunderstandings.
