Acronym. Also written i know right.
Where it comes from
A texting compression of the spoken phrase, in use since early instant messaging and still going.
How it is actually used
A pure agreement token. It does more than "yes" because it implies you had already reached the same conclusion independently — there is a small note of vindication in it. It works as a complete reply on its own, which is most of its value.
Examples
- "ikr, I have been saying this for months"
- "ikr!!"
- "ikr, why is nobody talking about it"
Can a brand use it? Safe for brands
Completely safe and unremarkable. It is one of the few abbreviations that reads natural from a brand replying in comments.
