When "LOL" got too casual, we moved on to "ROFL." That didn't seem to work for long, either, considering we swiftly moved on to the slightly more vulgar "LMAO."

Now, we've upgraded to "IJBOL" which means "I just burst out laughing." Basically, if something is above and beyond funny, throwing an "IJBOL" into the conversation will surely get the point across.

On stan Twitter, the side of Twitter where all the fans are running fan pages and getting into fierce battles, "IJBOL" can also be super sarcastic, so be careful who you use the phrase around.

If a stan (fan) says "IJBOL" while quote tweeting a picture of an artist they really hate, they may just be sending a not-so-subtle dig. Plus, if they do the same for a tweet from an update account, they must have a problem with what the person has done or are shading whatever it is they're up to.

It seems like we'll never escape the endless spiral of texting lingo and, with the way technology and communication is going, we may just need to accept it as the new norm. As long as you keep up to date on the latest terms or Google them if you don't know, you shouldn't embarrass yourself too badly.
