“Imma keep it a
buck” is a phrase that means “I’m going to be honest” or “I’m going to tell the truth.” The word “
buck” refers to 100, like how we use “keeping it 100” to mean being completely truthful.
This phrase, along with similar ones like “KIAB” (which stands for “Keep It A Bean”), became popular on
TikTok and social media.
Some might use it as…
“Ikiab, I only came to this party for the free
food”
“Ikiab, I’ve been scrolling on
TikTok for like two hours instead of doing my
homework.”
