The slang term 'Traka' (often spelled 'Traca') became a viral internet sensation primarily through Mexican influencer Yerimua. It is an onomatopoeic expression used to denote a sudden, impactful, or shocking event—similar to 'bam' or 'boom'—but often used within the context of 'slaying' or looking fierce. While it originated within the LGBTQ+ and drag communities in Veracruz, its crossover into mainstream social media, especially TikTok, turned it into a universal reaction for any situation that leaves an audience stunned. Users employ the term to punctuate a dramatic entrance, a sharp comeback, or a surprising revelation, making it a staple of modern Latin American meme culture.
