Online acronym, lingo for 'Internal Giggle'.
Term was created to insert realism and counter the effects of using *
lol* and *
lmao* too loosely when in fact most
people are not actually laughing out loud or laughing their asses off but simply having an internal giggle.

John via IM: Fell flat on my
ass today while doing a fake Karate Kid roundhouse kick yelling "
Wax on, wax off". Epic
fail.
