The Brief: NGL, or ngl, is an abbreviation of the phrase “not gonna lie.”
DEEP DIVE
NGL usually comes before or after a statement to indicate you are speaking your mind. It can be used in any context, from tweeting about Billie Eilish to bragging about Overwatch stats, and even to describe a spoopy drawing!
