What Does 'Bhocolate Bhip Bookies' Mean? The Viral 'TikTok' Meme Explained

TikTokers are currently using a viral audio that features the bizarre phrase bhocolate bhip bookies, a purposeful misspelling of "chocolate chip cookies."

Here's what it means.

What Does 'Bhocolate Bhip Bookies' Mean?

The phrase "bhocolate bhip bookies" first started becoming popularized in memes 10 years ago in 2013. The purposeful and strange misspelling is a reference to the Bloods street gang and how they're known to replace the "C" in words beginning with the letter with a "B," such as turning "cool" to "bool." It's also been linked with the use of the B emoji to replace letters, which was popularized online around 2015.

"Bhocolate bhip bookies" was largely popularized in 2015 by Vine users like Fresh 215. That year, they began posting comedy skits where one person playing a Bloods member forces another person to replace the start of all "C" words with a "B." From there, the phrase spread across social media, eventually hitting TikTok in 2020.

How Is 'Bhocolate Bhip Bookies' Used In Memes?

Memes using the phrase "bhocolate bhip bookies" have gone viral across social media throughout the 2010s, but they first started going viral on TikTok around 2020.
