This is a recently popular expression of agreement that carries a subtext. It is more than agreement with an idea (observation, opinion); it is a friendly assertion that the speaker has already had the same idea–as in, "yeah, I know"–but it goes further: it seeks validation for the speaker's claim of precedence, from the very person whose claim he's jumping. The subtext might be "Oh, you took my idea; you should be agreeing with ME, not vice versa."

Get the I know, right? mug.A mysterious body of knowledge, usually related to the relationships between men and women, that some say is denied them.
First discovered on a relationship forum in late 2010 / early 2011; a young man insisted that forum members were blocking him from acquiring "normal knowledge" of relationships. When queried about the nature of this knowledge, said young man refused to answer, resorting to an annoying repetition of "Why are you denying me normal knowledge?!?"

I want to know why you say I should just go out on a date, instead of sitting here on the forum asking questions?!? What do you mean? Why are you denying me normal knowledge?

Get the the more you know mug.Knowedgeability is a measurement which is often used by sociologists and psychoanalyists to determine, on scale of 1-100, the degree to which any given person can be known. Factors that play into a person's knowedgeability include: personality disorders, intellect, predelectation to small talk, physical appearance, self-image, and various other factors which may not be characteristics of the object, but of the subject, which do not explicitly play into the knowedgeability of the object.
Example: Person A is the subject and Person B is the object. Person A has a characteristic which may increase or decrease the knowedgeability of Person B, such as blindness or volume, which may eliminate or alter factors of Person B that play into Person B's knowedgeability. A situation may be as follows: Travis is very handsome, (he has a characteristic which strongly effects his knowedgeability) and Jen is blind. Jen's blindness eliminates Travis' physical appearance from the list of factors which effect his knowedgeability. In this case, Travis' knowedgeability was decreased by Jen's blindness.
