Deriod (Slang)

Deriod works on two layers at once. On the surface it is a portmanteau of "dick" and "period" built around the bit that men experience their own version of a menstrual cycle, and underneath it functions like the Black vernacular interjection "period," tacked onto a sentence to punctuate a strong take1. A typical post ends with "and that's on deriod" the same way an earlier TikTok might have ended with "periodt."

Most viral uses pair the word with the Sassy Man Apocalypse trend, where creators edit struttier, more theatrical clips of men, often rapper Saucy Santana, as if cataloguing an incoming wave of exaggerated masculine attitude2. The joke lands when deriod sits as a caption or overlay text on top of those clips, treating it as the official vocabulary of the bit3. Spellings drift between Deriod, Dihriod and the longer tag And That's On Deriod depending on which creator picked it up1.

To use deriod, a creator typically ends a bold statement or a Sassy Man Apocalypse edit with "and that's on deriod," often as on-screen text over a Saucy Santana clip or a strutting male subject2. A common convention is to pile it alongside other invented slang terms in the same overlay, treating deriod as one entry in a bigger glossary of the trend3.
