Does "kk" stand for anything when chatting/instant messaging?

I’m guessing it’s similar to “ok,” “mk,” “k,” “mkay,” “okay,” etc. And they said the internet squelches creativity…

Some people say it means “kay, kool” but even if it’s just a cuter way of typing “ok” (which is what I think it is), “kay, kool” is roughly what it means. It’s a bit more peppy than simply “ok.”

KK started in Europe, then spread to America via Habbo Hotel (a teenage chat service)

okay, okay.

my korean friends use ‘kk’ instead of ‘haha’

I use it when I’m trying to be upbeat, polite, or cute. Ok sometimes just seems too cold and impersonal.

The only people I know who use “kk” online are people who actually say “kay-kay” instead of “okay” in real life.

I always thought it meant: ‘Okay okay.. But here’s the thing, we don’t blablabla’. Kind of like agreeing with someone only to make them shut up, so you can talk again. Which might be what mckay means in the first place, mister Mackey couldn’t have coined it, what does mkay mean?

It always pisses me off, because it’s also a Dutch abbreviation for one of the worst examples of foul language.

Yeah, I use it the same way @ItalianPrincess1217 uses it. To be upbeat, polite, or cute. It could mean “okay, okay”, but usually I think its used as a quick fun version of “okay”. I don’t think there’s any real reason for it. I’ve been known to use “kkk” sometimes too…actually started because my friend Kenna’s nickname is “KK”, so it was k, kk. lol

In MMORPG’s it was the same as saying “I copy that”, “yep”, or “right”. A casual quick acknowledgment.

You need to chat with more mature honeys, honey. ;-)

Well, this shows what I know. I thought it meant “kiss, kiss.” I’m glad I didn’t respond with “kisses right back to you”. LOLLLL

KK

I picked it up from one of my friends a while ago. I use it when I’m in a good mood. But when I’m confused I use “ok….”

I use it to mean “ok” when chatting. It’s faster than typing ok.

@daloon So… “kk” is faster than typing “ok”. Since the “o” key is right next to the “k” key, the fraction of a second longer it may take to type “o” then “k” to typing “k” twice is worth it?

@erichw1504 Yes. Absolutely. It’s more comfortable, too.

@daloon OK… I mean, KK!

@erichw1504 Nice. You made me smile! That’s not an easy trick these days.

@daloon That’s how I do.

@markyy I was going to mention that too… kk is used to mean kanker (which is Dutch for cancer) in Dutch. Yeah, Dutch people swear with diseases, for one reason or another.

@Vincentt And what’s worse is that somehow a couple years back it became hip to say cancer among younger people as a way of saying: cool. Thank god the worst of it is over, but doesn’t that bother you too? We are a strange people. In fact you’re on to something, most of our namecalling is related to disease..

@markyy Yeah it’s either a disease, genital parts or English swear words. I never experienced it as meaning cool, though I do still hear it being used as an adjective meaning, well, anything from positive to negative, it’s just an enforcer. Then again, I don’t think it’s that much of a coincidence as those words are often very well-suited to swearing, looking at the pronunciation. I’ve learned not to bother as much anymore.

@Vincentt Though I do still hear it being used as an adjective meaning. That’s a much better description, that’s kind of what I meant by cool (as in: cool earrings), I’m just not that well articulated as you are :)
