Wilco
Understood and obeying
Wilco is radio communication shorthand meaning "will comply"—acknowledging that a message has been received and will be acted upon.
It originated in military and aviation contexts but has spread to casual use: Wilco, I'll pick up the groceries on my way home.
Unlike "roger," which merely confirms receipt, wilco commits to following through.
