What does ib mean?
Caption tag that points back at the creator whose video gave you the idea, when you've twisted it rather than copied it. The unwritten rule on TikTok: if you didn't invent the format, drop an IB or get dragged in the comments.
"Did the POV trend but for night-shift nurses — IB @camrynnreid."
Origin
TikTok caption convention. Distinct from DC (dance credit) — IB covers concept/format borrowing, not exact choreography.
