What’s the origin of ‘kek’?

The origin of this internet slang expression can be found in Blizzard’s famous massively multiplayer role-playing game World of Warcraft. This game is often referred to as “WoW.”

In this game, there are two factions. The players form each faction cannot communicate with each other. If one player’s character says “LOL” to the player of another faction, the other player reads it as “KEK.”

This comes from another Blizzard game, StarCraft. Many Korean players played this game. While an English player may say “haha” or “hehe” when they laugh, the sound in Korean is “keke.” “Kek” is said to have come from this sound.

This phrase is more likely to be used to someone who played World of Warcraft or someone familiar with games. It’s probably not as well known as “LOL” and will probably be used by younger people.

Example 1:
WoW Player 1: Ok, so I’ve got my spells ready. Everybody attack once I draw aggro. Here we go!
WoW Player 2: I’ll keep you healed.
WoW Player 3: Hey, it’s already over!
WoW Player 1: I thought that was going to be a lot harder, kek!
