“Are You a Jittleyang or a Fuhuhluhtoogan?” Meme Explained

What is a “jittleyang?”

A “jittleyang” is an attention grabber. According to Baltimore native, Richard Webster (also known as Bippleyipsnipp on TikTok), a “jikkle” or “jittle” means “an attention grabber.” The suffix “-yang” can be added to any word for extra flair, but it doesn’t change the meaning. So, a “jittleyang” refers to someone or something that grabs attention. “Forget the jittleyangs and focus on your end goal.” “She is such a jittleyang. All the guys hit on her at the club.” “That red coat is a jittleyang, especially since people mainly wear black and neutrals.”

What is a “fuhuhluhtoogan?”

A “fuhuhluhtoogan” might mean being good in bed. While no one knows the exact definition of the term “fuhuhluhtoogan,” some people believe it means that someone is good in bed. This is based on using context clues from similar words that are defined in Richard Webster’s book, Jikkuhlang the Dictionary. “I heard he’s a fuhuhluhtoogan ????” “Not to brag, but I’m positive I’m a fuhuhluhtoogan.” “According to the ladies, I am the definition of a fuhuhluhtoogan.”

Origin & Spread of “Jittleyang” and “Fuhuhluhtoogan”

Both terms come from Baltimore rapper and barber Richard Webster. In March 2021, Richard (also known by his rap name Bibbleyipsnipp) released a song called “City Girls,” which features lyrics that are super hard to decipher. This was partly due to his Baltimore accent, which caused the song to be known as “The Baltimore Accent Song.” The song went viral on TikTok in 2023, especially since Richard continued to post popular TikTok videos of him using other slang phrases. TikTokers started to make funny videos about the sounds they heard in his rap, including “jittleyang” and “fuhuhluhtoogan.”
