    Gyatt isn't an acronym or adjective. Its primary use was usually with elderly black men saying "GYATT DAMN," when they see fine women.

    the monetization system on tiktok seems suspiciously close to Japan's pachinko parlors. In Japan, Gambling is illegal nationally but to skirt around that law, your "winnings", which is represented by a bunch of silver balls, are weighted and counted which is then exchanged for prices. then you go to another facility (usually across the street) and exchange/sell those prices for actual money. Tiktok being a Chinese owned company might have used the same idea that Japanese use for Pachinko parlours.

Gen X taught us millennials how to keep our expectations real real low and how to find the best weed, too.
