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.
