What does GYAT mean?

The word “GYAT” appears in a variety of ways on social media, with some users lengthening the acronym and using multiple letters. For example, many TikTok creators refer to the phrase as “GYAATT”.

Acronym Finder reports that GYAT stands for the four-word phrase “get your act together.” A phrase used to direct someone to behave more appropriately or effectively, as defined by the dictionary.

However, social media users have started using the acronym when appreciating and referring to a person with a specific, curvy body shape.

Urban Dictionary defines GYAT as a shortened term for “goddamn,” typically used by popular social media star YourRAGE, “often when either a curvy female (or male) shows up during the stream.”

A TikTok user named @lizzyil revealed the meaning below her video when she commented:

“Yeah, guys say it when they see a girl with a big butt. Like, remember you.”
