“Deriod” is a slang term for a “dude period” (or, more explicitly, "d**k period"). It started as a funny meme on TikTok, but the idea was that men could experience mood swings or emotional changes for periods of time, just like women do during their menstrual cycle.
The idea of a “deriod” gained popularity on TikTok in 2025, after user @abdoulupnext posted a TikTok video claiming that each month men go through a period of feeling extra moody or emotional, prompting them to act differently or cancel plans, just like women might do on their menstrual cycles.
The creator originally spelled the term “dihriod,” but as it grew in popularity, “deriod” became more widely used. Users then began posting humorous videos of themselves on their “deriods,” like this TikTok by user @antoniodezz .
