IKYFL stands for I know you f***ing lying, a Gen Z slang abbreviation.

Expresses disbelief at a surprising claim or story, usually playfully, as in "you got front-row tickets? ikyfl." Popular on Twitter and TikTok among young adults.

Example: You met Beyonce at the airport? Ikyfl, show me the pic.

Usage notes

Contains strong profanity in its full form, which reflects African American Vernacular English grammar ("you lying"). Usually affectionate disbelief rather than a real accusation. Avoid it in work, school and family conversations.
