Iykyk
Teen slang, explained for parents.
What it means
"If you know, you know." Used to reference an inside joke or shared experience without explaining it. Signals belonging to a group that gets the reference. Used on social media captions, group chats, and in conversation.
How to bring it up with your kid
No concern. If they caption a photo iykyk and you ask about it, you might break the spell. Better to ask: "Is this an iykyk I am not in on, or can you share?" Lets them choose.
