“Sneaky link” is slang for a secretive casual romantic or intimate encounter, typically arranged discreetly and often at night. It refers to meeting someone privately while trying to keep it hidden from others. Common characteristics of a “sneaky link” include:
- Usually arranged via private messages
- Often happens late at night (“coming through at 2am”)
- Kept secret from friends, family, or social circles
- Typically casual or non-committed
- Sometimes referred to with the 🔗 emoji
The term became popular on social media platforms like TikTok and Twitter around 2020-2021. It’s generally used in informal contexts and might be considered inappropriate for professional or formal settings.
As with many modern slang terms, it’s worth noting that the phrase can carry implications about casual relationships that some might find uncomfortable or inappropriate in certain contexts.
