Draft:Mama Dat Burn
| Submission declined on 12 December 2024 by Wikishovel (talk). Neologisms are not considered suitable for Wikipedia unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong evidence in independent, reliable, published sources. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish its notability. This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of web content). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Mama Dat Burn
The “Mama Dat Burn” meme became a popular trend on TikTok in 2024, originating from a viral video featuring a mother silk pressing her daughter’s hair. Silk pressing, a common method of straightening Afro hair, involves using a hot iron comb to smooth and straighten textured hair.
In the video, the daughter reacts to the heat from the hot comb by exclaiming, “MAMA DAT BURN!” in an accent meaning “Mama, that burned!” The phrase quickly went viral, with TikTok users adding it to the “💜 memes” trend, a category of memes that cater specifically to Gen Z humor.
The meme’s appeal lies in its ability to blend humor with cultural familiarity. Its rapid spread demonstrates how TikTok continues to serve as a platform for showcasing shared experiences and turning them into widespread online entertainment.
