IKR

'I know, right?' — agreement with an upward inflection, in three letters, from mid-2000s texting to the present, and said aloud as 'ikr' by people who have never known it was an acronym. The record's entry for the agreement that is also a question.

My first sighting was 2005, in a reply from someone I have never met, and I understood it immediately. That is the closest thing to magic the internet still does.

'Ikr' as the entire reply, seventeen times, in a group chat about the weather. The record notes the weather was, everyone agreed, bad.
