toctoc

TocToc is a term with several distinct uses, depending on context. The most common reference is phonetic: toc-toc (or tocToc) imitates the sound of knocking on a door in many languages, including Spanish, French, Portuguese, and English. As an onomatopoeia, it appears in everyday speech, literature, and media to evoke a knock or to serve as a playful or dramatic cue.

In popular culture, Toc Toc is the title of a Spanish comedy film released in 2017, which is based on a French stage play of the same name. The narrative centers on a psychologist and a group of patients with obsessive-compulsive traits, using their interactions and idiosyncrasies to drive humor. The film adapts the premise from the original French play Toc Toc, written by Laurent Baffie, and preserves the ensemble-room dynamic at the heart of the story.

Beyond these, TocToc may appear as a proper noun in various media, brands, or music titles, often leveraging the recognizable knock-knock motif. Because the term is not tied to a single entity, its precise meaning relies on the surrounding context.
