On TikTok: On TikTok in 2026, this is still a classic for pointing to on-screen text overlays, a specific person in a group, or a reaction meme strategically placed 'up-left'. It often pairs with sounds that build tension to a reveal, or a sound that emphasizes 'look at this!', like a sudden sound effect or a vocal sample saying 'wait for it'.

Flirty context: This can be subtly flirty if it's used to highlight a flattering detail about a crush in a picture, or to reference an inside joke that implies shared intimacy. It's not overtly flirty, but context can definitely make it a soft signal.
