Suicide
Social media users often use the term ‘Sewerslide’ as a replacement for the word ‘suicide’. This is done to dodge the automated content filters on social media platforms which may block or hide posts that mention suicide.
This slang is particularly popular among users of platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Here, ‘sewerslide’ is used to talk about suicide without triggering the content filters. It’s a classic example of ‘algospeak’, a collection of slang terms specifically designed to evade content filters.
You may also come across the phrase ‘Kermit sewerslide’, which is another way of saying ‘commit suicide’. The word ‘Kermit’ here is a playful substitution for the word ‘commit’.
Example for using ‘Sewerslide’ in a conversation
Hey, did you see that TikTok video about sewerslide?
Yeah, I did. It’s crazy how they use that word instead of saying suicide.
I know, right? They’re trying to get around the content filters.
