Gen Z Words - Ik and Sticky Situations in Relationships

I think the first time I heard of ik was through TikTok. So for these Gen Z words, I always try to come up with like what the root word could be. My theory for ik is that it comes from, yeah, I can see that. Just generic sound of disgust. Like icky. How do we not think of that one? We thought it would be fun to do kind of a hypothetical dating episode. And how would we kind of act in these situations and also going through our personal ix as well.
