Definition

However, FYKI isn't always as kind as it sounds. In some contexts, some people may use it sarcastically or passive-aggressively, especially online or in professional back-and-forths. It can precede a statement meant to correct someone or point out something obvious, with just enough edge to say, "I'm being polite, but I want you togetthis."
