OTD

What does OTD stand for?

Of the day

On many social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, you will often see the acronym OTD, which stands for “of the day”. This term is used by itself and also as part of other acronyms such as OOTD (outfit of the day), QOTD (question of the day), and WOTD (workout of the day).

For instance, a social media user sharing a daily series of fantasy artwork might begin a post with “Dragon OTD is Bahamut, the King of Dragons!” Similarly, someone posting a daily cooking tip might post “Cooking tip OTD: Use unsalted butter for baking.”

So, next time when you see the acronym OTD on social media, you’ll know it refers to a daily feature or highlight of some sort, whether it’s an outfit, a question, a workout, or something else entirely!
