heart

1. heart
To love, but not usually in regards to a person. Less emotional than the oft-abused use of 'love' for inanimate objects or ideas.

Origin: Use of a stylized heart symbol in place of the word "love" in writing, particularly on t-shirts and bumper stickers. I <heart> New York may have been the most popular one.

"omg! i heart that show!"
