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.

Kid roundhouse
kick yelling "Wax on, wax off". Epic
fail.
