IJBOL
I Just Burst Out Laughing — Gen-Z's replacement for LOL.
Definitions
Used when something actually made you laugh out loud, not the autopilot 'lol' you type with a flat face. The whole point is it claims a real reaction — so people use it when something properly got them.

Origin & Usage
Lurked on Urban Dictionary since 2009 but took off in 2021 through K-pop stan Twitter, then crossed to TikTok. By 2023 it was being written up as the LOL/LMAO replacement because — unlike them — it describes an actual physical reaction.
