- IKYABWAI62%
An internet slang acronym standing for 'I know, you are, but what am I?' — a rhetorical retort used to deflect an insult by turning it back on the person who made it. A digital version of playground bickering. Associated with early 2000s forum and chat culture and now feels quite dated. Used mostly ironically or nostalgically.

- W community58%
(Internet slang, Twitch-speak) A Twitch community characterized by chatters reacting to events using W and L in text, instead of using traditional (or custom, browser-extension-provided) emotes. Associated with relatively more mainstreamized, hip, recent-influx Internet culture and black culture, in contrast to the poggers community which is associated with more traditional gaming culture and nicher, shibbolethic image reaction-based humor.
- YKW58%
An internet slang and text messaging abbreviation with two common readings: You Know Who (used to reference someone without naming them, often in gossip or secret-keeping) or You Know What (used to introduce a statement obliquely). The ambiguity is usually resolved by context. Primarily used in informal digital communication among people with shared reference points. The deliberate vagueness of YKW is sometimes its entire purpose — saying ykw without specifying invites the listener to fill in the blank themselves.
