IYKYK IYDKYS — if You Know You Know If You Don't Know You Slow — Humorous Code T-Shirt
No Explanation Needed
Some things just don't translate outside the circle, and trying to explain them to somebody who wasn't there kills the whole thing anyway.
This phrase skips the explanation entirely, trusting that the right people already understand.
It's worn like a quiet handshake, for the ones who don't need it explained twice, or at all.
