The 'I Understood The Assignment' TikTok Audio Explained

A social media trend has reached peak popularity whenever brands start participating in it; by the time junior creatives and social media interns finish pitching and explaining a trend for approval, it's probably already been seen on every platform. So, with that in mind, it should be easy to backtrack the timeline of a trend to learn more about it when a brand joins in on the fun. One glaring exception is the Duolingo Owl — that's one up-to-date bird.

McDonalds' "I understood the assignment" era on Twitter began in the second half of 2021. So did  Starbucks '. With a calculation based on conjecture, the trend can be traced back to the beginning of 2021. We looked to Know Your Meme for confirmation, and it turns out we were right. This is what high school teachers meant when they said that we'd use math after graduating.

This particular phrase has garnered extreme attention across all social media platforms. On TikTok , videos submitted under the "I understood the assignment" hashtag have received more than 600 million views; an excess of 30,000 posts wear it on Instagram . But what does it mean? And why is there an entire song dedicated to it? Read on to learn more.

The 'I understood the assignment' trend has been used by celebrities

How was the "I understood the assignment" trend created? In March 2021, a Twitter user @thering26 posted stills of Uma Thurman in numerous acting roles. "Uma Thurman will always understand the assignment," the accompanying text read. Soon, the phrase and meme format spread across Twitter like wildfire; it is used to describe someone who knows how to get the job done (via Know Your Meme ). The meme format is particularly popular for talking about actors who can pull off very different roles with top-notch acting.

A few months later, artist Tay Money put a new spin on the trend. She released a song that claimed she understood " The Assignment ." The artist herself used a part of the song that said "I understood the assignment" on TikTok. This led to a trend of people posting accomplishments and stories that proved that they knew what was expected of them and went above and beyond (via Know Your Meme ). 

Even celebrities hopped on the trend. Taylor Swift used it to promote "All Too Well" (via YouTube ) and basically immortalized the phrase. There are currently around 250 million views on the "the assignment" hashtag on TikTok . It also led to the creation of another relatable sound that remixes Tay Money's song with Reese Witherspoon in "Legally Blonde" saying, " Actually, I wasn't aware that we had an assignment ." And that's how one meme took over the internet.

Tay Money – The Assignment

Tay Money flexes on a fiery new track entitled “The Assignment”. Fueled by a skittering bounce, Tay eases into her confident and charismatic bars with an announcement, “I understood the assignment”. Ahead of its release, the track has already made its rounds on TikTok with over 280K videos and climbing. 

“The Assignment” is available now at all digital retailers. Listen HERE .

Tay Money upholds her red-hot streak this summer. In July, she made her U.S. major festival debut with a standout set at Rolling Loud Miami , bringing the crowd to its feet. “The Assignment” arrives on the heels of a string of summer anthems including tracks “Shake” and “Asthma Pump” which both feature the unfiltered lyrics and attitude that have made the Dallas artist one to watch. Having been featured on the digital cover of ELEVATOR , and hailed by FLAUNT as “one of the hardest female rappers of our generation,” Tay’s in the midst of a hot streak that stretches back to the release of Blockedt . She made that EP with heavyweights like Derrick Milano (a co-writer on Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hot Girl Summer”) and Bankroll Got It (producers of hits like “DO DAT” by Stunna 4 Vegas featuring DaBaby & Lil Baby)—collaborations that fed into the boundary-pushing energy of her tracks since. “Shake” showcases an exciting new side of Tay’s style, highlighting her ability to craft emotionally stirring songs while still sticking to her favorite topic―flaunting her assets.

About Tay Money

In just over two years, Tay Money , the Athens-born, Dallas-based rapper has racked up millions of views and streams thanks to her witty punchlines and unique musical approach. Her debut song, “Na Na” marked the beginning of her career as an artist and set the tone for the originality that she would bring to the rest of her records to come. Within months of her first release, she was selling out shows in Dallas and had gained a cult-like following among her listeners (now dubbed Tay Army). 

With her bouncy trap beats, unmistakable Texas twang, and unapologetically catchy rhymes, Tay began to reach commercial success with her breakout song “Trapper’s Delight” in 2018. With what was originally a risky move to expand her music outside the limits of her hometown of Dallas, the video for “Trapper’s Delight” amassed over 1.1 million views in under two months. Since then, she’s continued to release many more viral hits including “Bussin” (11 million YouTube views), “Bussin 2.0” with Saweetie (7 million YouTube views), and “Brat” featuring Mulatto, two of which are on her recently released EP, Blockedt . The widely acclaimed project led to many defining moments for Tay , landing spots on coveted playlists including Spotify’s New Music Friday, Feelin Myself, and Release Radar as well as Apple Music’s The Plug and New In Hip Hop. The project also received praise from FLAUNT who hailed her as “one of the biggest women rappers in Texas”, SPIN who noted that she was “one of the biggest women rappers in Texas”, and ELEVATOR who named her their February cover star. Now, with the cosigns of some of the biggest up-and-coming female rappers, and having surpassed the milestone of over 100 million U.S. streams, Tay plans to build on her momentum with her forthcoming EP.

Understood The Assignment

Did an amazing job.

When somebody understood the assignment, they did something incredible and gave it their all. For example, when a person designs a fabulous outfit and looks stunning, they understood the assignment.

Origin of Understood the Assignment

The slang phrase "understood the assignment" was popularized in 2021 by American rapper Tay Money's song "The Assignment." For example, lyrics from her song are, "Tay, you killed this. I understood the assignment."

The phrase plays off how excellent students or employees understand assignments in school or the workplace really well and subsequently produce stellar work. In the fall of 2021, the phrase grew in popularity on social sites, like TikTok and Twitter, as people used it to remark about fantastic and on point things.

For example, a fan may say, "Tiger Woods understood the assignment," when the golfer beats the rest of the field so badly that he makes them look like amateurs. Or, a musician may have stunning album art, and someone may share it on Twitter, saying, "The new Cardi B album cover understood the assignment."

‘Understood the assignment’ was 2022’s most searched slang term, study finds

2022 has certainly been a wonderful year for slang. From pop culture occurrences to TikTok trends, expressions of language have never been so diverse – but what sort of words have been dominating the scene?

A brand new study by Preply reveals just this. Taking a seedlist of this year’s commonly spoken slang words, the team have used Google Trends data to identify the terms that have increased in search volume since the start of 2022.

Here’s what they are…

Understood the assignment – 348% increase

As told in American rapper Tay Money’s iconic TikTok song, understood the assignment refers to someone who gives 110% in what they do, whether that’s their job or what they chose to wear for a glamorous event.

The term has given a new meaning to the term ‘killing it’, not to mention being used in numerous social media captions – most likely posted by your friends.

Cheugy – 330% increase

When cheugy first came onto the scene, people were simply perplexed. What does such a word mean? Is it something to do with chewing gum?

Pronounced ‘chew-gee’, the term is basically a fancy way of saying ‘basic’ and refers to someone who is not in touch with the current trends or is trying too hard.

Bussin’ – 178% increase

Believed to have come from the phrase ‘to bust a move’, which means to dance or perform with style, bussin refers to something that is extremely great.

This term often relates to food – that said, it’s perfectly acceptable to use this term as an adjective to describe the popcorn chicken at your local KFC.

Caught in 4k – 150% increase

So, we have ‘caught in the trap’ and ‘caught in the act’, but what exactly does caught in 4k mean?

To put it simply, it means to catch someone out red-handed and having the digital evidence to prove it. On social media, the phrase can be accompanied by the camera emoji to emphasise the level of exposure. How scandalous!

Sending me – 113% increase

From ‘I’m literally screaming’ to ‘I can’t deal’, there are many modern-day ways to express laughter.

A recent 2022 addition to this list is sending me. As the term suggests, it refers to finding something so funny that you just cannot act normal for the time being.

Ate that – 79% increase

In the slang world of compliments, telling someone that they ate that is a high form of praise.

And no, it doesn’t mean telling someone off for having the last french fry, rather the term refers to someone doing a great job.

Main character – 59% increase

Another term popularised by TikTok, main character refers to the core person in a situation.

A classic example of this is where someone walks into a room, impeccably dressed and therefore catches everyone’s attention. Similarly, when there is an individual in the group who is funny or entertaining, you can say they exude ‘main character energy’.

Snatched – 53% increase

Forget ‘gorgeous’, to say someone is ‘snatched’ is really a top-tier compliment.

Popularised by the 1990s New York City drag culture, to say someone is snatched means that they are all kinds of attractive, perfect and amazing. Share this:

Why The Bear star Liza Colón-Zayas 'freaked out' about filming Tina's pivotal season 2 moment

"They just threw me in the deep end," the actor says of making episode 5, "Pop."

Sydney Bucksbaum is a writer at Entertainment Weekly covering all things pop culture – but TV is her one true love. She currently lives in Los Angeles but grew up in Chicago so please don't make fun of her accent when it slips out.

Give The Bear star Liza Colón-Zayas a sharp knife, and she's totally fine. But when she was handed a microphone for her character Tina's pivotal season 2 moment, she immediately started panicking.

Curmudgeonly chef Tina began Hulu's award-winning dramedy as stubbornly resistant to Carmy's (Jeremy Allen White) vision for Chicagoland food spot The Beef. But the Latina line cook soon gained respect for him and his plans to revamp the restaurant into fine-dining establishment The Bear in season 2. She even accepted his assignment to go to culinary school to hone new skills armed with his own personal knife, even though it meant putting aside her pride and learning alongside much younger peers — something her co-worker/friend Ebraheim (Edwin Lee Gibson) just couldn't do.

It all culminated in episode 5, "Pop," where her hard work paid off in more ways than she ever expected. She excelled in class, earning the praise of her teacher and fellow students who invited her out for celebratory drinks. Season 1 Tina would never have accepted their invitation, but this new and improved sous-chef swallowed her fear and anxiety, showed up, and then stunned the entire bar with her powerful and moving karaoke performance of Freddy Fender’s "Before the Next Teardrop Falls." But Tina's moment of triumph was actually terrifying for Colón-Zayas to film.

"I freaked out because I don't do karaoke! I don't sing," the actor, 52, tells Entertainment Weekly . "And I thought I had mentioned this to [showrunners Christopher Storer and Joanna Calo], so I thought I was being pranked when one of the producers was like, 'You're going to do karaoke.' I was like, 'Nope,' but then it was in [the script] and I got really nervous."

What helped Colón-Zayas get past her fear and nerves was Storer's explanation that the scene wasn't about how well she can sing, since Tina isn't supposed to be an amazing performer. She's a normal person doing something she's never done before. "It's about stepping out of our comfort zone," she adds. "It's not about how well we do it but the courage to do it. It's part of the genius of [Storer and Calo], that they believe in us in ways that we don't see in ourselves, and I think that's essential to the show, that belief and creating tribes of people that will support you."

It wasn't just the idea of singing that had Colón-Zayas feeling the pressure. It was also the knowledge that this was the moment she had been building toward, with her evolution from a contrarian to Carmy — "I like that word," the actor quips, adding it's a "very civilized word for Tina" — to now fully buying into how he views the restaurant and her own potential. It was a long, nuanced journey that Colón-Zayas understood deeply and felt was earned for the hardened character.

"We will continue to learn more, at some point, about Tina's survival skills and her trauma — she had to adapt to become a product of her environment, and that was real male-dominated," Colón-Zayas says. "With all of the changes going on within the restaurant, I feel like she wasn't entirely wrong with wanting to know that [the staff] was not going to be dispensed with and that Carmy's not going to leave. Despite all of the toxicity, we stay with each other and we hold each other up."

Watching how chef de cuisine Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) "won over" Tina throughout season 1 and 2 was a joy for Colón-Zayas, because it showed a real empathy that she wishes was more prominent in onscreen stories. "Ageism is real. Gentrification is real. Having to compete with younger people who have credentials beyond whatever Tina would have is terrifying," the actor explains. "I mean, come on, in most spaces, me and Ebra would be written out and written off."

First Mikey ( Jon Bernthal ), then Carmy, and then Sydney instead "created this space for all of us broken toys, and was able to recognize, through all the mess, who deserves a second chance," Colón-Zayas says. "I so completely relate to that, as a woman of color of a certain age in this industry, to be experiencing what I'm experiencing now with [this show]. I fully get it. And all of those things, all of those twists and turns, are central to leading to me having the courage to step up on that stage [to sing]." She pauses before adding, "I hope we can normalize these kinds of storylines so that this is just the beginning."

Even before Tina gets onstage, the seemingly small act of her simply showing up to the post-class drinks is a huge moment of growth for her. "Tina's courage in accepting the challenge of these kids — is it a pity invite because I just happened to be standing there?" Colón-Zayas says. "Okay, well I'm still going to show up, because I have to be able to keep up and I have to show I'm not afraid."

That feeling hit deep for Colón-Zayas. "As an actor, as a human being, I tend to be suspicious, like, 'Really? Am I getting set up?'" she says. "When you're struggling long enough, you always think that, or that you're always waiting for the other shoe to drop. And this is what makes Tina tick, what keeps her up at night. Somebody may have a really crusty, unpleasant exterior, but can we take a moment, see what's really happening deeper? I hope that's what audiences walk away with, because it's vulnerability, right? And as we get older it's harder to show that."

That's why she's not upset when fans of the show tell her they "couldn't stand" her in season 1, because she knew that Tina's tough, unlikeable persona was just hiding something much more relatable underneath.

"Those are always the more interesting characters, and it means a lot to me as a woman of color to play that," Colón-Zayas says. "I'm not afraid of playing messy characters as long as I know that there is an arc and we're going to understand more about why she is the way she is, and then I'm down. It was very important to me to get that confirmation that there is more there, and we'll learn it in time. And we're still going to learn a lot more about Tina in the future ."

Tina's rarely-seen softer side came out a lot in this episode, particularly as she worried about Ebra after he stopped showing up to culinary school. "Tina can easily be him — on some level, I feel like we deserve more," the actor says. "Ebra served as a soldier. We're at a certain age, we don't have a lot of extra opportunities like this. And I know that in the way that I'm stubborn, I get that he's stubborn, and this could be humiliating — but if we get through it, it'll be amazing."

When he finally does return to The Bear, hat in hand, ready to accept his new position at the restaurant, Tina accepts him back with open arms — but not without giving him a little grief first. "When he comes back to that window, I've got to give him crap, because that's our love language, but there's nobody else I want to be there, because we do deserve this opportunity," Colón-Zayas says. "And I've known Edwin Lee Gibson for decades, so we naturally had this air where we like to annoy each other. That tough love easily translated."

But while Ebra didn't take to culinary school, Tina soared as she learned new skills and techniques. That meant a lot of prep work in the kitchen before filming. "I wanted to look like I had been doing my homework at culinary school, so there was a lot of work for that," she says. "I wanted kitchen workers to be like, 'Okay, for where she's at, not bad,' and I think I succeeded."

She felt less confident when it came to filming that karaoke scene, however, because she was singing live on set, without any kind of prerecorded track. "Ain't got no autotune on this?" Colón-Zayas says with a laugh. "Come on! But that was the point, to have that rawness of being in it, and it was a profound choice by Chris. But they just threw me in the deep end."

She remembers warming up all week in her bathroom at home — "My poor neighbors!" — but still feared she would be "terrible." And she will never forget how it felt filming that scene in a bar full of extras and crew members as her captive audience.

"I really wanted to have a shot of something, but I couldn't because I was at work," she says with a laugh. "In real life, I definitely would've had a few, a little bit of liquid courage to get me up there. It's a bar full of young people, and I don't sing, so I was so afraid of being lousy. It was just weird hearing my voice coming through a speaker, and it's not cool equipment, it's bar equipment. I was just breathing through it and staying present with memories and how I got there, all of the internal stuff that we artists have to draw from."

But just like Tina, Colón-Zayas conquered her fears and emerged triumphant. "I'm always my worst critic, but I was real proud of how well it all turned out," she says, before adding with a laugh, "Well, I was proud and mortified."

The Bear is available to stream on Hulu.

Meeting the Dallas Cowboys 2024 draft class: Nathan Thomas

Tyler reed | jun 3, 2024.

The Dallas Cowboys understood the assignment when it came to bulking up the offensive line in the 2024 NFL Draft. The team jumped out of the gates, selecting offensive tackle Tyler Guyton with their first pick and then guard Cooper Beebe in the third round.

However, the Cowboys' offensive line selections weren't over. With their first of two picks in the seventh round, the Cowboys went back to the offensive line one more time.

Rd. 7: 233 Nathan Thomas OT, Louisiana Lafayette

#Cowboys clearly wanted to upgrade their OL, and they stole one in OT/OG Nathan Thomas from ULL. At 330+, he smooth, stout and effective with his punch, and keeps his kick slide controlled in space Should add depth at both guard and tackle spots for Dallas #ShrineBowlWhosNext https://t.co/b1wYQnempM pic.twitter.com/HxX2XxBK6A — Eric Galko (@EricGalko) April 27, 2024

Cowboys fans are hoping Louisiana Laffeyette's Nathan Thomas could be the next talked about late-round steal of the NFL Draft. Thomas stands at 6-foot-5 and weighs over 300 pounds. The perfect prototype build for this generation of offensive linemen that must block against hybrid creates the likes of T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett.

Dallas has a lot of work to do when filling out the offensive line.

Currently, the Cowboys team website doesn't even have a center listed on the depth chart, but Cooper Beebe is expected to compete for the job

One has to think that Guyton has a lot of work to do at the left tackle position. However, there is plenty of room for Thomas to learn the position and have the opportunity to fill in on the left or right side of the line with added depth.
