“What songs should you play for a doro party in Châtelet?” “I was invited to a doro party, so we’ll dress up together.” For several weeks on Tiktok, Internet users have had this expression on their lips.
Originally, this expression refers to an evening in which the participants have sexual relations with each other. The expression is formed from the English word “party” (“party”) and the Bambara word “doro” (“penis” or “kiss”). The expression has since been hijacked by Generation Z, users aged 15 to 28, and refers to big-night-out types.
“Bread”, “bakery”, “goumin”
On Tiktok, the hashtag “doro party” has 1,800 views, far from the basic trend… Several Internet users record their beauty preparations before going to a doro party or the party itself. Some have fun telling their experience at these great parties. The Duolingo France profile took the opportunity to film Duo, its famous owl, on the subway. “On the way to the gold festival in Châtelet,” says the video, viewed 1.9 million times.
Because “doro parties” are mostly “IRL” evenings, in real life. Thus, the “doro party” of the rap group L2B on October 11 in Châtelet, Paris, quickly degenerated into a mass movement. Given this enthusiasm, the evening ended up being cancelled. Much to the despair of some users.
“You have to have lived it to understand it, but I am in the middle of a goumin (“heartbreak”, editor’s note) at the doro festival in Châtelet,” says one Internet user. “It was an incredible event, we were all together.”
The Doro party is not the only new fashion expression among Internet users. Several words taken from Ivorian Nouchi, a hybrid language between French and local languages, are trending on the platforms.
Since this summer, the term “bread,” which designates a person’s “love,” has become a hit. He was even kidnapped. From now on, “bakery” designates a place where various favorites are found. The “goumin” describes an intense heartbreak and a “go”, a girl.
