WATERTOK

"WaterTok" is a mashup of "water" and "TikTok." It's a subculture of TikTokers who use the hashtag #WaterTok to tag posts in which creators level up plain H₂O using zero-calorie syrups, flavored powders, ice, and water (usually in large, expensive Stanley cups), and give them names like "Mermaid Water" or "Birthday Cake Water." It's supposed to make drinking water more fun and help Gen Zers stay hydrated.

As it is formed by merging two terms into one, WaterTok is a portmanteau word. It is a combination of the words water and TikTok. Portmanteaus are efficient and catchy. Instead of saying "that trend on TikTok where people flavor their water," you just say "WaterTok." They are everywhere. For example: "blog," "brunch," "bromance," "cosplay," "motel," to name just a few.
