What is burgundy sauce said backwards?
What does burgundy sauce sound like backwards?
According to Urban Dictionary, saying burgundy sauce backwards basically sounds like a racial slur. To say it backwards the video actually has to be reversed on Snapchat or a digital voice reverser app in order to work. The site says the trend was "made by some immature 9th graders".
People have encouraged others to say the phrase in order to trick them into being racist. Others are also getting people to say "vinegar", which also sounds like a racial slur when reversed.
So if you're being told to make your own burgundy sauce video it's probably best to not fall for it. Others are now warning others to not take part in the trend.
Remember, if you do see any burgundy sauce videos on your timeline, it's best to report the video to TikTok.
