Where it came from

The name existed as an affectionate American nickname well before the internet, with Urban Dictionary defining it as a term of endearment as early as 2005. TikTok revived it in the 2020s, especially after a May 2023 meme by creator @hixko, and widened its use to friends, crushes, and favorite creators alike.
