Type Shi
what it means
Attached to the end of a statement to endorse it: "early nights, type shi". It marks something as characteristic of a lifestyle or mood.
A stylised way of saying "type of thing" — an all-purpose agreement or emphasis tag.
the origin story
A censored spelling of a longer phrase, spread through TikTok comments and captions from 2023.
The spelling exists to evade profanity filters, part of the same pattern as "unalive" and "seggs". It became one of the most common comment-section tags of 2024, usually endorsing a lifestyle choice shown in the video.
