IKIAB is a popular internet slang acronym that primarily stands for 'I Know I Am, But...' or 'I Know I Am Bitch/Beautiful,' depending on the specific social context. It gained significant traction on platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) as a dismissive or empowering comeback used to flip a perceived insult or embrace a label with total confidence. The meme usually features bold text over a reaction face or a minimalist background, emphasizing the speaker's self-awareness and refusal to be bothered by the opinions of others. Whether used in competitive gaming lobbies to shut down trolls or in lifestyle posts to showcase self-love, the IKIAB meme has become a staple of modern digital sass and Gen Z linguistics.
