The sun is out, our water bottles are at the ready, and this year’s Love Island contestants are preparing for take off. And we’re just a little bit excited!
From ‘mugging off’ to ‘getting the ick’, Love Island lingo is made up of some weird and wonderful phrases. And with a long hot summer ahead, we thought we’d refresh your memory.
So, we hereby bring you the Signature Living Love Island Dictionary…

Definition: When someone ticks all the boxes (but they might not be your type in person).
Example: The Islanders, particularly Amber, letting us know that in fact, a lot of people were their ‘type on paper’…
The Ick

Example: Olivia getting ‘the ick’ with Sam. “It’s just ick. I can’t shake it off” she told the camera.
Eggs in One Basket

We won’t lie, we’re excited to see what this year’s contestants bring to the Love Island dictionary. Let’s just hope they’re our type on paper.
Since we’re yet to be disappointed, we suspect the summer will have its fair share of Love Island memes and hilarious moments.
