The user named ‘2Poor4Prada’ also humorously imitated TikToker Jools Lebroon while sharing her interpretation of the term.
As they ate, they remarked, “Do you notice how I am eating this sandwich? Very composed and attentive. I make sure everything stays in its place and prevent any spills.”

Yelp also left a comment on her TikTok, praising her for how delicately she ate her sandwich and giving her a 5-star review.
Although demure currently has the spotlight on the internet, it is not the only TikTok term that has gained widespread popularity. In July, another term, “glazing,”started trending, which refers to excessively hyping someone up to the point of being cringy. And we must also mention “slay,”a term that conveys the act of confidently presenting oneself.
