What Does 'Catching Print' Mean?

"Catching print" is a new slang term coined by dating coach and TikToker Anwar White (@datingcoachanwar), who has over one million followers on TikTok.

In mid-March 2026, he posted a video explaining the term to his viewers that gained over 10 million views in just over a week. In the video, he explains the term as a way of determining the size of a man's intimate region from the outside of his pants.

White offers a list of terms for different sizes, which are inspired by bra sizes, including the "A-bulge," "B-bulge" and "G-bulge." The term apparently tickled the brains of many viewers, and now, it's going viral on the app.
