The term ‘SSA’ has caused confusion among many TikTok users. It’s often used to bypass one of TikTok’s content filters.

Like other social media platforms, TikTok has its own slang and phrases. These are commonly found in video captions, messages, and hashtags.

You may have seen ‘SSA’ on your For You Page, either spoken in a video or written in a comment.

Though ‘SSA’ usually stands for “social security administration,” TikTok users have given it a new meaning, which has left many people puzzled.

SSA’s different TikTok Meaning

It’s short for the word “a**” spelled backward. People use it this way to avoid getting their posts flagged for using banned words.

By typing it this way, TikTok’s filters won’t catch it, but viewers can still figure out what it means.

However, many people come across these posts and have no clue what the letters stand for. This reversed version is the most common use of ‘SSA’ on social media.

‘SSA’ can also stand for same-sex aggression, which is more often used when talking about animals.

For example, two female dogs might be more aggressive toward each other than if one were male.

Even though this is a valid meaning, it’s not as popular online as the one referring to someone’s backside.
