Dear [email protected],

I am writing to express my concern about the increasing use of the phrase “IYKYK” or “If you know, you know” in social media and online conversations. This phrase is often used as a way to exclude others from a conversation, making them feel like they are not part of an exclusive group.

Not only is this type of language exclusionary and elitist, but it also undermines the idea of open and inclusive communication. It is important for all of us to strive for understanding and empathy, rather than creating divisions and fostering a sense of superiority.

I would urge readers to be mindful of the language they use when communicating with others, and to avoid using phrases like “IYKYK” that can be hurtful and divisive. We should all be working towards a more inclusive and understanding society.

Sincerely,

Moshe R.

  1. This is terrible. Our galus has taken a turn for the worse. I don’t see any realistic way to survive this. This is mamesh another situation of “vayeounchu bnei yisroel”. This is even worse than the shidduch/age-gap crisis. How much more suffering can we endure?

  2. You think social media started this phrase? Its the English version of “hamavin yavin”. You sound like you are part of the FOMO group. The fact you feel you need you know and feel included in everything is more concerning.

  3. ITWSIRTIWDUI. In normal non WOKIST language that means If The Wokeists Say Its Racist Then I Will Davka Use It
    Matzav should leave these silly letters for Purim or April Fool’s Day
