What Does OJ Mean in a Text?
OJ means "Only Joking." "Only Joking" is used after a comment to let the recipient know it was meant only in jest. Often, however, OJ is used to take the edge of a truthful comment. For example:- Mark: Your boyfriend is starting to get fat.
- Sarah: What?
- Mark: Hey, OJ.
Of course, OJ can also mean OJ Simpson (US football and film star) or Orange Juice, but in online chatrooms, it most commonly means Only Joking.
