"JayAnd TreyPlus2 ikr! I loved it!"

"ikr"= "I know. Right?" [This is a common African American affirmation response which actually isn't asking a question. There's little to no pause between the word "know" and the word "right". And old school African American Vernacular English form of this expression is "Right on."]
