kek meaning: definition, etymology and quotations

kek

intj

/kɛk/

Etymology Borrowed from Korean ㅋㅋㅋ (keukeukeu, “haha”, representation of laughter). Since this is often used in StarCraft matches, Blizzard, StarCraft’s developers, decided to reference it in World of Warcraft: when a player of the Horde faction types "lol" using the /say messaging command, members of the opposing faction see it as "kek". Not related to "kik", a typo of "lol".

Video games Internet Used to indicate laughter or humour.
