History
From skibidi, a nonlexical vocable used in scat singing. The jocular nonsense word is derived from the YouTube web series Skibidi Toilet (2023–present), which took the vocable from the song “Dom Dom Yes Yes” (2022) by Bulgarian singer Biser King. It was originally used (albeit still humorously) by younger children who viewed the series, incidentally part of Generation Alpha, and later popularized online as an ostensible example of “brain rot”. Compare the later gegagedigedagedago.
Popularised by the 2018 dance song “Skibidi” by Russian band Little Big.
