I ?

I ♥ (pronounced I love or I heart) is a slang expression used to indicate love or affection, sometimes with a connotation that the feeling is superficial or juvenile. It is a play upon Milton Glaser's classic logo, I ♥ NY (spoken I Love New York). In the U.S., it is often written by schoolchildren to indicate a "crush" on another person.

Originally pronounced I love, recently hipsters have taken to pronouncing or spelling out the heart, in a somewhat facetious manner.

Someone once parodied the I ♥ by putting out a bumper sticker that said "I ♠ My Cat". One of the panels in Gary Larson's "Far Side" had Godzilla driving a car with an "I 8 NY" bumper sticker.
