TikTok trends come and go overnight, but one particular trend involving the letter "P" has turned into something that might last a while. The term "pushin P" has taken over the video-sharing platform exponentially fast in the form of comments, videos, as well as the 🅿️ emoji, and barely anyone can seem to define it exactly — although the gist is pretty simple to wrap your head around.
So, Uh, How Do You Explain "Pushin P"?
American rapper Gunna, whose song "Pushin P" is where the phrase originated, explained the meaning behind it in an interview with radio show The Breakfast Club, saying, "It's simply 'player,' but you also can use it in other ways." Essentially, "pushin P" is a lifestyle that's hard to define, but generally means to keep things real. "F*cking your partner's main b*tch ain't P. If you hold the door for a lady, that's P," Gunna said in an Instagram Live. "Arguing with your partner about money ain't P. We ain't doing that. We're pushin' P." Another way to look at "P" is that it's a positive thing, so if someone is doing something that's admirable or impressive, you could say they're "pushin P."
How Do You Use the Term "Pushin P"?
Not only has "pushin P" taken off on TikTok, but brands like Nike and iHop have even tried hopping aboard, too. "We had an internal meeting, and without getting into details, we're pushing 🅿️ all year," Nike tweeted, with iHop writing, "We're always pushing 🅿️ancakes." The brands, of course, received mixed feedback, as it's not exactly "P" of them to hop in on the trend. Nevertheless, if you want to add "pushin P" to your vocabulary, you can look at it the same as someone who is keeping it real or acting in an acceptable manner.
