Ykwim (pronounced why-kwim) is an abbrevation of the sentence "You know what I meant". It's commonly used to defend yourself when someone teases you about your spoken mistakes.

Ykwim is mostly used verbally, since it looks kind of weird written. Ykwim goes great along fu.

Ykwim is often misspelled as Ywkim, since Ywkim is much easier to type in on the computer.
- Hey, I'll call you later, I'm on school.
- Wow, you're on your school? How is the view up there?
- Ykwim. Fu.

Short for "you know what I'm sayin'." Pronounced "ya kweese." Can be lengthened for effect. "ya kwEEEEEEESE." Not an internet acronym, but a truncated verbal form of "you know what I'm sayin'."

Correct response to 'ykwis' is not 'ikwis (I know what ya sayin') but another 'ykwis.'
"Damn, that bitch couldn't keep her mouth shut in class, ykwis ?"
