What does NFS mean on TikTok?
There are multiple different meanings of NFS. Because NFS is an initialism, it can mean different things. But, here are the most popular definitions of NFS:
- Not for sharing
- Not for sale
- New friends
When to use NFS
You would use “not for sharing” (NFS) if you were talking about a topic that you don’t want to tell others about because it’s too personal, or there may be another reason.
For example, some or a user may comment asking you a question, and you could reply by saying “NFS” meaning not for sharing.
Secondly, you could use “not for sale” (NFS) if you were talking about an item or product and you want to make it clear that it’s not for sale.
For example, a user may comment or say “Can I purchase this?” and you could reply by saying “NFS” meaning not for sale.
Thirdly, you could use “new friends” if you posted a video on TikTok with someone you’ve just made friends with.
For example, you could put “NFS” as the caption meaning “new friends”.
Alternatively, you can create your own meaning for NFS. All you need is two/three words that start, or end with “N”, “F” or, “S”.
As long as the user or the person you are using the initialism NFS with understands which meaning you are using for the initialism, then it doesn’t matter.
But, if the user doesn’t know which meaning you are using, this may cause confusion because, as we mentioned earlier, there are multiple different meanings for it.
When not to use NFS
You shouldn’t use NFS without first explaining the meanings.
So, you shouldn’t use NFS when starting a conversation because the other people will not know what you mean by it.
Make sure you explain what you mean when you use NFS because otherwise, the other people in the conversation or on TikTok will get confused and may think you mean something different from what you actually mean.
Where did NFS come from on TikTok?
Finding out where NFS first came from is harder than you may think because it means many different things.
It seems like a user used it as an initialism and others seemed to start using it as well, and creating their own meanings for it.
Final words
Now you know what NFS means on TikTok.
Overall, NFS can mean anything you want it to mean.
As long as the person you are talking to or your audience knows the context you are using it in and what you mean by it, then it’s fine.
