How well do you know your texting slang?
FYKI is a more polite or formal-sounding version of FYI that shows up in emails, messages, or posts when someone wants to share a fact, reminder, or correction in a slightly softer tone. It's the more diplomatic version of FYI, trying to sound courteous, even when the message might be a little blunt. The acronym has been around since the 2000s and is mostly used in business settings, tech circles, or Internet forums where people love mixing formality with shade.
However, FYKI isn't always as kind as it sounds. In some contexts, some people may use it sarcastically or passive-aggressively, especially online or in professional back-and-forths. It can precede a statement meant to correct someone or point out something obvious, with just enough edge to say, "I'm being polite, but I want you to get this."
