About

Jamaican Smile, also known as Jamaican Smiling, refers to an ironic Sigma slang term that riffs on the term similar to other nationality-based terms like German Stare and Balkan Rage. Therefore, the Jamaican Smile is not a real phenomenon and instead, its usage mocks other Sigma brainrot terms like Winter Arc and Balkan Rage and Those Who Know, which were all popularized in late 2024, predominantly used withing Sigma Phonk edits featuring the creepy Trollface variant Trollge.

Origin

On September 30th, 2024, TikToker[1] @bestsparring posted a photo slideshow using a phonk sound, showing a transition between two halves of a Trollface with text captions reading, "About to fight / Opponent starts Jamaican smiling." Over nine days, the slideshow received roughly 55,900 likes (photos shown below).

Spread

On October 2nd, 2024, TikToker[2] @bestsparring posted another photo slideshow that used the same format as the Flicker Goon slideshow, instead reading, "I can Jamaican smile for 7 seconds." The photos received over 145,300 likes in one week (shown below).

After the abovementioned slideshow, others evolved the joke. For instance, on October 2nd, TikToker[3] @shanie.44 posted a video using the I'm Stronger, I'm Smarter, I'm Better sound, adding a POV caption reading, "POV: I'm the only one that can hold a Jamaican smile," receiving over 342,100 plays and 2,700 likes in a week (shown below).
