(noun, slang)
A viral slang term used as a gender-neutral, often affectionate or ironic substitute for words like “bitch,” “bae,” or “girl/guy.” Popularized through social media, especially TikTok and X (Twitter), “ball” is commonly used to refer to someone you’re close to, obsessed with, or ride-or-die for — whether it’s your best friend, partner, or someone you’re just down bad for.
Usage is playful and context-driven, often used in memes, captions, or casual speech.
Origin: The term originated as a satirical or memeified way to soften or replace harsher slang like “bitch,” evolving into its own distinct term with humorous and affectionate tones. Often used to express obsession or loyalty.
Note: Not to be confused with actual sports balls. Unless you’re in your feelings about a basketball too, in which case… carry on.

Get the my ball mug.
Referring to an individual as “your ball” is essentially claiming them as your own. You wouldn’t want someone dribbling your ball or for your ball to be passed around.
