r/EnglishLearning on Reddit: How to read abbreviations like "GOAT", "KYS", "IDK"
April 7, 2024 - I’ve heard some people say it as “Kay-Why-Ess” and just as many people not annunciating the words correctly and saying “killyeself” as all one word. (please don’t. my dms are open if you ever need to chat). IDK can be either said as “Eye-Dee-Kay” (uncommon to say that out loud) or you can say what it stands for and just simply say “I don’t know.” Many people from my region shorten the phrase “I don’t know” to simply “Ion’ know”. It sounds like “Eye-own know”. The “Eye-own” is very fast and merges together.
