What does “NGL” mean?
NGL
Oh, this one's everywhere online!
"NGL" stands for "Not Gonna Lie" — it's a way of saying you're about to be really honest, even if it's a little embarrassing or surprising.
Like if your friend makes something to eat and it's actually really good, you might say "NGL, this is the best thing I've ever tried." Or maybe you're watching a sad movie and you text someone "NGL, I totally cried at the end." It kind of makes the honest part feel more casual and safe — like you're letting your guard down a little.
People use it when they want to share a true feeling without making it feel too serious or too bold.
So basically — NGL is just a chill way to say "okay, I'll be real with you here." 😄
