IIL

What Does IIL Mean?

IIL means "I'm In Love."

The abbreviation IIL is used with the meaning "I'm In Love" to refer to a broad range of feelings from appreciation, to lust and deep emotional attachment.

While IIL can express intense emotion, it is often used jokingly. For example, you could say you're "in love" with the vending machine when it delivers a perfect cup of coffee, but this represents a very different emotion to being "in love" with another person. It is possible to love many things or people, but to be "in love" with someone suggests exclusivity and a more intense emotion (e.g., you "love" all your friends, but you're "in love" with your partner).

According to U.S. music chart site "Billboard," the word "love" was most frequently used in songs released in the 1980s. This compares to the 1970s, when "woman" was the most popular word, and the 1960s, when "baby" was top of the list.
