Declining⏳OutdatedDefinition
Abbreviation for 'I know, right?' Expresses agreement and validation. It's the text version of enthusiastically nodding along. Popular in the late 2000s/early 2010s, now somewhat dated but still understood and used occasionally.
Translation for Parents
It means 'I know, right?' as in 'I completely agree!' It's been around since the MySpace era and while it's not exactly current, it's not embarrassing either. It's in the 'comfortable middle age' of abbreviations.
Examples

Mildly embarrassing
Giving 'I still have a Hotmail account' energy. Not embarrassing, just a little dusty. Like finding a BlackBerry in your desk drawer.
