If you see a TikTok video, comment or hashtag that contains the letters ‘SA’, it is usually referring to sexual assault.

It has some other definitions too

However, this isn’t the only meaning that SA could have on TikTok. In fact, it has quite a few different definitions.

Firstly, ‘SA’ could also mean South African, and the abbreviation is used a lot on TikTok alongside South African content.

It could also mean ‘social anxiety’, or ‘sibling alert’, which essentially just means you’re sending a message to your brother or sister.
