Kai kai means: Sexual activity or intercourse between drag queens.. It is informal slang, fine in casual speech but not suited to formal contexts. It carries sexual or vulgar connotations; not alarming on its own but worth understanding the context your teen heard it in. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

(LGBTQ, slang) Sexual activity or intercourse between drag queens.
Origin: Related to kiki: either related to the sense "lesbian who is neither butch nor femme" because a butch who was sexual with another butch was considered un-butch and thus kiki, and likewise a femme sexual with another femme, and the term was then extended to a trans person who was sexual with another trans person or a drag queen who was sexual with another drag queen, or perhaps extended from the sense "gathering for gossiping, social activity".

For ESL learners
kai kai means: Sexual activity or intercourse between drag queens.. Register: very informal, often derogatory or vulgar. Avoid in formal, business, academic, or polite writing. Even in casual speech the word can offend and is best left out of a learner's active vocabulary. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.

For specific readers
Why is this section here?
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
