On TikTok: On TikTok, ✂️ is heavily associated with 'cutting people off' trends, often paired with dramatic sounds or 'I'm better off without you' audios. It also pops up in editing content, where creators are literally 'chopping' clips for a seamless transition, but that's the more literal, less viral use. Sometimes it's used ironically to 'cut' to the chase or signify a quick transition in a story. Expect it with sounds like 'I'm not gonna say it, but I'm thinking it' for cutting off toxic people.
Flirty context: This one's tricky. If it's used flirty, it's almost always hinting at the explicit 'scissoring' meaning, usually in DMs with someone you have an established sexual vibe with. It's not a subtle 'I like you' but more of a 'Let's get spicy' signal. Be careful with this one, it's not universally understood as flirty.
