Z世代「LOLとかいうスラング使ってるのはおっさんだけ。今はIJBOLだよ」マジ？？

Gen Z cancels LOL in favor of new acronym: IJBOL

Gen Z has canceled the fan-favorite acronym LOL.

Instead, the slang-savvy generation has coined a more complicated term in lieu of laugh out loud: IJBOL.

For the uninitiated, that means “I just burst out laughing.”

Unlike the so-called strictly “Millennial” LMAO (“laughing my ass off”), ROFL (“rolling on the floor laughing”) or LOL, IJBOL — pronounced “eej-bowl” — doesn’t quite have the same je ne sais quoi.

Yet, the widely-used acronyms part of internet culture for decades have been trashed by Gen Z-ers, much like the thumbs-up emoji, skinny jeans and blond hair.

“I don’t LMAO. It’s just not what I do,” 27-year-old Michael Messineo, a Melbourne-based content creator, told the New York Times.

“I associate LMAO with Millennial humor. But then I associate IJBOL with Gen Z humor, which is funnier.”

The novel acronym IJBOL first appeared in Urban Dictionary in more than a decade ago, according to the Times, but resurfaced in the K-pop community in recent years — and finally stuck.

Calling all olds: Gen Z has created yet another slang acronym.

"There's a new texting term that all the young people are doing that we weren't aware of," Hoda Kotb shared Thursday morning on "TODAY with Hoda and Jenna."

Kids aren't saying LOL anymore, she told Jenna Bush Hager. Instead, they're saying IJBOL, meaning “I Just Burst Out Laughing.”

It's one of many ways internet users use online slang terms to convey amusement in the absence of face-to-face communication.
