What Does IDK Mean?
By Timothy Tibbetts |
The internet is full of acronyms, and IDK is one that you may not be familiar with, even though it picked up in popularity in 2020.
Acronyms are abbreviations of words used to cut down on the time it takes to type. Acronyms are often typed and easier to understand when typed in capital letters.
There's no shame in seeing an acronym you don't recognize, and it's happened to everybody (or it eventually will).
IDK (ironically) means “I Don't Know”
IDK isn't that old, with origins only dating back to 2002 and first appearing in the Urban Dictionary in 2003.
IDK made a resurgence in 2020 during the COVID pandemic. During the pandemic, internet memes took off in quantity, but not always quality. Some memes were actually brilliant and required you to think to get the joke, not something your average meme lover is used to. Hence, IDK began to be used more.
IDK, like many acronyms, can be used as lowercase or uppercase.
