What Does PERIODT Mean?

PERIODT means "End of Conversation."

PERIODT is used to verbally indicate the end of a sentence and emphasize that a statement is final, the conversation is over and there is nothing else to be said or discussed.

PERIODT is a more forceful version of the US term "period" (UK "full stop"). For example:
  • I'm finished with Jo. PERIODT.
  • I'm the biggest One Direction fan out of the two of us. PERIODT.
The letter T at the end of PERIODT is supposed to mimic Black speech patterns. The term was originally popularized by the Black gay community, but its use spread in the early 2020s, on social media platforms such as Twitter and TikTok.
