What does “ion” mean in text? Follow
When texting, “ion” means “I don’t.” For example, “Hey did you guys catch that new episode of Love is Blind on Netflix?” “Nah, ion watch reality TV.”
It’s a shortcut for the negative responses that appear in a casual conversation. This Gen Z slang saying might not be super obvious when it comes to literal interpretations of typed and tapped shorthand these days as it doesn’t follow the usual rules of abbreviations.
In the world of texting, “ion” is just a snappy way of saying “I don’t.” You might have to think about how it sounds out loud in a conversation, especially one that’s fast and informal, such as in social media or group chats.
(And that’s the key—save it for the casual chit chats. The reality is that your boss might not be able to make the connection if you attempted to throw this one into a professional discussion.)
