Women On TikTok Are Using ‘Pink Canoe’ and ‘Brown Kayak’ to Give Advice about Sex and Health

Move over “unalive,” “seggs,” and the nearly Julia Fox-canceling “mascara,” it seems TikTok algospeak has taken a turn for the horny, with several users starting a unique discourse on watersports — offering tips about “canoeing” that have nothing to do with canoeing.

Over the past several months, videos offering “canoe-ing” advice pertaining to both one’s “pink canoe” and “brown canoe” — or sex tips/content regarding both vaginas and assholes (nice) — have gone viral on the video-sharing platform, with people detailing their experiences of having/interacting with the erm, watercraft.

While several creators have used the terms to (correctly) discuss topics like waxing and pregnancy, and the persistence of nudes like — *all* our nudes will be online someday, one user, in particular, has seemingly stemmed a large part of her TikTok persona from the term — a user by the name of @littlemisspinkcanoe.

Garnering more than 44,000 followers on the platform, @littlemisspinkcanoe has proven herself to be quite outspoken about her pink and brown canoes, describing her boats, offering *satirical* advice (please for the love of god do not go from your brown canoe to your pink canoe) detailing her experiences as an OnlyFans creator, and of course, patiently explaining the meaning of these terms to oblivious men time and time again.
