Word of the Day

kiki

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 16, 2026 is:

kiki • \KEE-kee\ • noun

Kiki is a slang term used for an informal gathering among close friends, especially to share lively gossip or frank conversation. It can also refer more broadly to gossipy conversation. Kiki is especially used in and associated with LGBTQ+ and Black communities.

// The performers had a kiki backstage before the show.

See the entry >

Examples:

“The year 2024 will long be remembered in pop culture as the year of #bratsummer, christened, of course, by the early-June release of an instantly-iconic pop album, Charli XCX’s Brat. It was the cultural equivalent of the hippies’ summer of love in 1967, but for the girls and gays a singular moment in time when every day offered the chance of a kiki and every night flirted with throwing a rave.” — Vanessa Quilantan, The Dallas Observer, 26 Aug. 2025

Did you know?

Let’s chitchat about the word kiki, a fun word for a fun, gossipy gathering. While its exact origins are unclear, we know that kiki has roots in the ballroom community, a primarily Black and Latino drag subculture that spread in US cities especially in the 1980s–90s. In the early 2000s, a movement emerged within ball culture that was often referred to as the kiki scene. This involved support groups and social services for LGBTQ+ youth, and provided opportunities to socialize, including in the form of so-called kiki balls, or festive, party-like drag performances. This scene was notably captured in the 2016 documentary Kiki, popularly considered a sequel to 1990’s Paris is Burning. Kiki is also used as a verb meaning “to share lively gossip or frank conversation”—in other words, “to have a kiki.”
