ABDL stands for Adult Baby Diaper Lover, a fetish or paraphilia community. Adult content. If your teen encounters this online they may need a conversation about online safety and age-appropriate content. If your kid uses it constantly, ask them where they first heard it, not to police their speech but to understand which online community they are in. Most slang of this kind moves through TikTok and group chats, so seeing it in your child's vocabulary just means they are plugged into normal teen internet culture.
ABDL is an initialism for "Adult Baby Diaper Lover," referring to a fetish community. Use only in academic, journalistic, or community-specific contexts. Formal equivalent: "Adult Baby/Diaper Lover community." Common non-native mistake: encountering casually without context. Always treat as adult content. Read or listen to the word in context several times before trying it yourself; the right register is harder to learn than the dictionary meaning.
