What is “pebbling”?

Have you heard the relationship term “pebbling” yet?

It’s all over TikTok and it’s based on something penguins do, according to Metro!

Male penguins let females know they’re interested in them by bringing them a rock.

It’s a gift, but also something penguins use to build their nest.

Pebbling for us humans is similar but instead of rocks, it’s other small gestures we do to let them know you care about them.

It could be a cup of coffee or anything else to brighten their day but for younger people it’s often sending someone a funny meme!

A relationship expert talked about how “memes are a love language” now quite like “sending a message saying, ‘I saw this and thought of you.'”

Have you “pebbled” today?
