TikTok is still obsessed with the holy airball trend, here’s a breakdown of what it means

Doom scrollers will be sick of seeing it by now, but the holy airball trend on TikTok is actually fairly entertaining – who doesn’t love a humble brag from time to time.

The song is also stuck in my head on repeat as I’m currently romanticising my own life, trying to work out my personal holy airball moment. However the term is a bit rogue and I’ll be honest, I had no idea what it meant when I first saw the trend doing the rounds on the FYP.

So, here’s what the holy airball TikTok trend means

Used by both brands, celebs and humble viewers alike, the holy airball TikTok trend is currently trending. Loads of people have used it to reveal how people have underestimated them, and how they’ve exceeded expectations with their achievements.

It was quickly picked up by the brain rotted TikTok community among us, and has been used to show off people’s successes, or nepo baby connections. In one example, a woman said: “I told him how I was really into law.”

She said the guy replied: “Oh do you watch Suits or something?”

The next clip flips to her working in court, captioning the clip”Holy fkn airball”.

But if you were wondering, the background behind the term airball” is actually that it was used in basketball when someone takes a shot and completely misses the basket.

But “holy airball” actually originated at a high school girls’ basketball game where a group of students dramatically screamed “HOOOOLY AIRBALLLLL” after a player missed the basket shot entirely.
