Do you want your friends to know that you don\u2019t like something you have seen or heard? Maybe you disagree with a post online and want to make your opinion known?<\/p>\n
If you are a AAVE speaker, the term \u201cion\u201d is a great term to help get your point across.<\/p>\n
This post unpacks the meaning and origin of this expression.<\/p>\n
The phrase \u201cion\u201d means \u201cI don\u2019t\u201d. In the simplest terms, it is just a shorter way to say this longer phrase. While it is easy to say I don\u2019t, the term Ion is a way to express your feelings in a stronger way. This slang term is more so meaning that \u201cI really don\u2019t like that\u201d as opposed to the simple form. <\/strong><\/p>\n Any context in which you would typically say \u201cI don\u2019t\u201d is where you could also use \u201cion\u201d. Instead of \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d, it would be \u201cion know\u201d. If you see the phrase in all capitals, as \u201cION\u201d, an acronym that most commonly means \u201cin other news\u201d, which is a way of changing the subject.<\/p>\n
