What does it mean when someone is reheating nachos? It generally implies they're bringing back something that was well loved, but to a less loved degree. Generally... but if you heat them up in an air fryer, they could be just as good!

00:00Don't you hate it when you want to eat some good-looking food, but it's nachos?
00:03Okay, I know, that joke isn't just cheesy, it also feels kinda reheated.
00:07You may have heard people online talking about reheating their own or someone else's nachos.
00:11But what does that mean, and why are people saying it?
00:13Reheating nachos is a slang term for doing something that's already been done,
00:17but generally with less potency or effectiveness.
00:19Sort of like you would enjoy stale or soggy reheated nachos,
00:22less than you would enjoy them in their original crispy and fresh form.
00:25So the term can be used as an insult, but this isn't always the case.
00:28Some cases refer to one person reheating their own nachos,
00:31aka revamping their old work occasionally to fairly good results,
00:35like you might get if you reheated nachos in an air fryer instead of a microwave.
00:39The term seems to have originated from a clip from Batty's West that was reposted
00:43to TikTok on December 3rd, 2023 by TikToker Batty's Funny, who added the caption,
00:48You can tell Natalie low-key want instead of girls nachos.
00:50The first known viral use of the term was a quote tweet shared by ex-user Hyphen Corday
00:55on January 9th, 2025 about Doja Cat reheating her own nachos,
00:59which garnered nearly 2 million views in a month.
01:01In the following weeks, the slang term amassed viral use on ex and spread to TikTok.
01:05This was in part fueled by Lady Gaga's performance at the 2025 Grammys,
01:09which fans applauded as her reigniting her classic style in a good way,
01:12with many posting about her reheating her own nachos.
01:15Many users would get more and more creative with the metaphor,
01:18expanding it to cover more specific situations, often asking their audience,
01:21Does that make sense?
