Have you seen everyone on TikTok using the phrase ‘Fax No Printer’? Well, here’s what it means.
TikTok is full of bizarre slang terms that are often pretty difficult to understand.
The latest one to take over the app is ‘Fax No Printer’, but what does it mean? Here’s everything you need to know.
If someone says ‘Fax No Printer’, it essentially means that they are agreeing with something.
The original saying was ‘all facts, no printer’ but the word ‘facts’ got shortened to ‘fax’, as in fax machine.
A fax machine is often found in the same area as a printer, which is how the saying came about.
‘Fax No Printer’ means that something is true, and is a way of saying ‘you are right’ or ‘I agree’.
The slang term is now being used as part of a viral TikTok trend.
It doesn’t have an official name, but it consists of someone saying: “Hey yo. The person who sent you this wants you to know___fax no printer___.”
Where the gaps are, you add your own comedic words.
So, who started the trend?
The trend began with a TikTok user called @briaalanaa.
In December 2020, she uploaded a video where she said:
“Hey yo. This is for my girls with the little booty, the person that sent you this wants you to know that you cute as f***. No cap. Fax, no printer. Copy, no plagiarism.”
Then, she continued making more videos using the same template, and it began going viral on TikTok.
Now, she’s known as the ‘Fax, No Printer’ girl, and she’s TikTok famous.
