Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗intj
Used to indicate laughter or humour.
verb
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryTo laugh.
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".
