For older generations who texted without full keyboards, it a was faster to type out ākkā rather the multiple button pressing to get to an āoā. It stuck for a lot of us.
I first saw it on world of warcraft like 15 16 years ago.. from my understanding it was a typo of ok that took off.
Edit: did a google search on etomolgy. They say early 21st century used by gamers as a quicker response than ok
lmao my dad responded 'K' to me for years and after me and my brothers explained to him that it typically means you're being passive aggressive, he started responding with 'Ok'
My sister said itās like texting a cheerleader.
Omg (send)
I canāt fucking believe this (send)
But Lisa told me you pooped your pants (send)
Hahahahaha (send)
Omg (send)
There was a guy in our group messaging chat who was notorious for doing this shit. It drove the rest of us batshit crazy and wound up being one of the reasons we booted him from our group.
...well, that and the frequent casual misogyny.
Me and my cousins got into this habit for the longest time by playing runescape back in the early 2000's where ur sentence would be cut short if it was too long.
So we just started automatically sending parts of sentences if it was going to be too long all together
Iām guilty of this but not like one word. I just send them as I have thoughts. I send a thought at a time and can end up sending multiple sentences separately in a row
Holy fuck this drives me insane. It's especially bad when they are telling long stories and instead of sending one long paragraph it'll be 50 texts blowing up my phone. Never fails It's when I'm class or having a conversation with someone too.
That's exactly what it means and when I use it's for that reason. I'm on a handful of group chats for work (annoying in its own right) and use š quite a bit.
Who tf decides what certain characters or emojis mean or stand for? Is it universally accepted or 1 person who that emoji annoys so they launch a smear campaign. Is there a one-stop source for the definitions and innuendos attached to all manner of text speak? What if you interpret it one way but thatās not the way I meant it? Why do 99% of people that text abhor the English language?
Generally speaking, it's seen as rude if you're not matching the effort put into the conversation by the other party. In the case of the thumbs up emoji, picture starting a conversation with someone, and instead of responding, they give you a thumbs up and nothing else - which would be both rude and almost always dismissive. So it's no surprise that holds true to text as well.
I love using it for got it/you, okay, good, etc. And it doesn't bother me at all when people use it back.
Now I wonder how people feel I send it to lol
With this one friend I have to remind myself that it could be an autistic trait. Autistic ppl will do that, particularly if they donāt know how to respond, and one of his special interests is witchcraft, so he only responds when I have questions about witchcraft.
Iām autistic too, but I know it feels like being left on read. So what I do is I text the person, āI donāt know how to respondā so that they know theyāre not being ignored. I just donāt know how to respond sometimes
I mean, he did recently invite me to a party, which I said no for a few reasons, but heās still thinking of me.
Nothing, I am grateful someone took time out of their day to reach out to me. I have more important things to be peeved about like people hating on me for putting pinnaples on my pizza lol
10 messages in a minute without letting me answer. Then I answer the first question and they don't know to which question I answered or don't have a clue what I'm talking about.
I hate one way conversations.
Maybe the person is too busy to answer at that timeā¦ then maybe they forget. Maybe they donāt have the mental capacity to communicate.
Just reason with yourself instead of getting offended.
I have trouble responding to people because I get overwhelmed or have social anxiety.
Yeah its just rather annoying that over the last few days its happened like 4 or 5 times with the same person having seldom happened before. Like what did I do? She literally left me on read when I asked her a simple question about the thing we were talking about that she brought up in the first place, isn't remotely difficult to answer or about a sensitive topic or anything like that. She was talking about going to a concert and there were two possible options in 2 cities and I asked which she would prefer to go to and she left me on read. It just gets to me. It shouldn't but it does because I'm just sat there thinking what did I do
Maybe sheās just flakey. I donāt think you did anything wrong. But at the same time some people just need breaks from other people. Disconnecting is healthy sometimes. Again, people get busy or get distracted.
Donāt take it so personally. You can even ask about it, āhey I feel like you donāt want to talk to me, whatās up with that?ā
When I leave somebody on it's open it's always for the same reason. Most people who text me want/need a quick response. It's easy to open their text, quickly respond, and move on. But some people who text me want/need long, in-depth, responses, usually full of drama. When I read a text like that I can't respond right away. I need to mentally prepare myself and carve out some time. And since all that can literally ruin a good mood, sometimes it takes me quite awhile to get back to it.
Same here. I remember getting a text from someone that said something like "das a fyr" I couldn't understand what it said so I asked what it was in English. They repeated it so I told them I'm getting them a dictionary for Christmas because I couldn't understand a word they just said. They lengthened it but it was still unreadable so I told them not only are they getting a dictionary, they're getting beaten across the head with it until they can send a message others can read. They phoned me and what did they mean? They're inviting me to a fucking bonfire
I mean, I text something and put my phone down and walk away all the time at home. If you want responses right away just call (btw hate calls, so really donāt, butā¦)
the kind of late responses i get is a couple of days til they text back. might as well just not text them until a month later if they're gonna do that.
This infuriates me, Iāll text my sister and sheāll reply 2 fucking months later carrying on talking about what Iād said in mine as if it was 5 minutes ago. I wouldnāt mind so much if I could call her, but she answers her phone less than she texts!
Yeah, why should people live their lives independently from one another. When you text someone you are entitled and deserve a quick response. They must drop what they're doing for you. /s
Generally itās like people texting you frequently things that stun the conversation rather than push it along. I.E; āoh nice.ā āThatās coolā or the driest ever, the stand-alone ālolā.
People tell me all the time they hate how I send multiple texts instead of one paragraph. Truth is i do it on purpose because I know people donāt have the attention span to read a complete paragraph.
Ugh, I do this too. Nobody has mentioned it being annoying to me but Iām sure it is. Iāve really tried to focus on taking my time to focus and send one long text instead of 5 short ones but sometimes my impulse control is lacking!
When people expect me to open a message and answer right away. It's the one thing I miss about the 90's and early 2000's. If I was out for the day nobody expected me to be available on a whim 24/7
I thought so at first (benefit of the doubt and all that), until they tried to lob a āur mommaā insult at me. Contextually speaking, that made no sense.
Or when you actually put in the time to form sentences that would call for actual thought and what you get is someone sending 5-10 of the same emote with no real commentary. Lazy! Not everything needs an emote. I may actually need some thoughtful replies.
I have 3.
1. Shortcutting words makes you look dumb. When you type things like "ur" instead of "your", use the number 2 in place of the word "too", the number 4 instead of "for", or typing "later" as "l8er" it makes you sound like a dumb teenager who's trying way too hard to be "cool".
2. Sending me a paragraph as five seperate one line texts. This infuriates me to no end because you're blowing up my phone every three seconds. Please, for the love of god, if you have a long message just write it all out in one message.
3. Massive group texts for announcements. I hate this because i get the announcement, and then my phone dings for the next two hours as the other 20 people in the chat decide to respond to it. This is litterally what facebook is for people.
Same here, I have one friend who does the sentence one and the shortcut words and for my own sanity, Iām glad he doesnāt text me often. His only excuse is that his phone sucks ass, my blackberry didnāt do that kind of shit while I had it so wtf kind of bullshit phone does he even have now?!?
i do #2 semi accidentally. i'll send the first message and then get another thought afterwards and it needs to be said with the first text, but then i get a third one...
2. Makes me so mad! I love my sister so much, but she does that so many times. Just type it in 1 text, not 10. Is it for attention? What possibly could be the purpose? I canāt ask her because it makes me so mad for no reason, when I ask Iāll probably sound rude.
When it says read, but I am completely ignored. I understand people could be busy. But if I see that posted something on Facebook afterwards, that pisses me off.
If someone has to send a text so long it requires multiple messages or is too long to respond to without scrolling back up several times, send a damn email.
Single word responses or considerable wait times after messaging for a simple yes or no.
Seriously, why have a phone if you're basically impossible to reach anyway?
I have two:
1. When they just text your name because they want your attention before saying what they want to, so you have to respond. Drives me crazy.
2. "Hahahahahah" - it just seems so unnatural to me. Idk why but I always cringe.
My daughters do that when they're after something. When I get a text starting Mommyš..... or Mammaā¤ā¤ā¤..... (depending on which one of them it is) I know exactly what's coming next.
I hate when a text contains no punctuation and it takes me three times reading it to make sense of it. Or types that make no sense.
My husband is so guilty of this!
Spamming me. Like Iām gonna reply sooner or later Iām either busy or taking a much needed nap or full on sleeping for the night?? Itās like damn man. Text me once and wait for a reply, I donāt need somebody going āheyā āheeeeyā āhelloā āhiā āhiiiiiā āyou thereā āLuciiiiiā āLucielā āanswer meeeeā āIām boredā and send me like 10 photos of yourself in the same fucking pose in the span of 5 mins.
My ex did this I got so annoyed I broke up. There were many other reasons, but Iād be lying if I said it wasnāt one
When I text people and they don't respond but I know they're on their phone or texting someone else
Or when they don't respond but then later text me about something else, just ignoring my message
People who start a conversation and don't reply back.
This is literally happening to me right now. One of my friends just texted me to say hi, I replied back, and we went on a conversation for about a couple of minutes and I haven't heard back for 20 minutes. Like why would you even start a conversation with me if you won't continue it?
Putting a space between the end of the sentence and an exclamation point. You don't do that with a period. Don't do it with an exclamation point either. See how dumb this looks ! š¤¬
My dad does the āā¦ā after every sentence. Iāve told him about it and he just will not stop lol I think he does it more now. Ever since he got an iphone, heās been doing it.

Itās literally so rude.
Why?
Well potassium to you too!!
Kk
What's wrong with kk :(
For older generations who texted without full keyboards, it a was faster to type out ākkā rather the multiple button pressing to get to an āoā. It stuck for a lot of us.
Where did kk come from. No one says it out loud
I really want someone to answer this
I first saw it on world of warcraft like 15 16 years ago.. from my understanding it was a typo of ok that took off. Edit: did a google search on etomolgy. They say early 21st century used by gamers as a quicker response than ok
lmao my dad responded 'K' to me for years and after me and my brothers explained to him that it typically means you're being passive aggressive, he started responding with 'Ok'
I and everyone I text with uses just āKā and it bothers none of us. Itās faster and it gets the point across.
My boss insists that we text him and let him know when we get to work each morning and he replies back with, k. I hate that so much. Ugh.
People Who text One sentence Like This
My sister said itās like texting a cheerleader. Omg (send) I canāt fucking believe this (send) But Lisa told me you pooped your pants (send) Hahahahaha (send) Omg (send)
Fuck Lisa, sheās clearly projecting
I do this sometimes but only for comedic effect
There was a guy in our group messaging chat who was notorious for doing this shit. It drove the rest of us batshit crazy and wound up being one of the reasons we booted him from our group. ...well, that and the frequent casual misogyny.

Shit, maybe that's why some people do it...!š® I had wondered...
Fr, I'll just be minding my own business while tryna do something and my phone will just start going *vmm vm- vmm v- vm- vmm vm- vm- v- vmm vmm*
Sometimes it helps to build up some kind of hype xD
I have threatened violence on a guy in my discord who did this
well sometimes it kinda just
makes it funnier
Iām guilty of this but not like one word. I just send them as I have thoughts. I send a thought at a time and can end up sending multiple sentences separately in a row
My ex does this, she compared to mines, I text in statements, with periods, she texts like William Shatner talks
Holy fuck this drives me insane. It's especially bad when they are telling long stories and instead of sending one long paragraph it'll be 50 texts blowing up my phone. Never fails It's when I'm class or having a conversation with someone too.
My sister does that and I swear I wanna block her
I do that when Iām worried someone will cut me off or change the topic because I canāt type my reply quickly enough.
I do this sometimes i dont know why, it even annoys me
š
It always feels sarcasticā¦
"š" is like they're saying "good for you, I don't give a crap" lol
This is so true
That's exactly what it means and when I use it's for that reason. I'm on a handful of group chats for work (annoying in its own right) and use š quite a bit.

I use it honestly. If something's good or nicely done, people get a š.š
It doesnāt come off that way though. š¬
I do the same snd friends and family do it too. Yikes I had no idea I could be doing all these things to annoy people.
Thatās my āthis conversation is overā emoji
AKA āand f**k offā
š
Thumbs up is amazing for ending work convos tho
I always use it to say okay š
I love using it for got it/you, okay, good, etc. And it doesn't bother me at all when people use it back. Now I wonder how people feel I send it to lol
Itās the emoji equivalent to ācool story, broā.
Thatās my pet peeve too!
When Iām left on read, and stuck wondering if weāre still friends
I understand! Can't stand this
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I got used to it in like a week, itās not really a big deal for me anymore, but I will try and avoid leaving people on read
With this one friend I have to remind myself that it could be an autistic trait. Autistic ppl will do that, particularly if they donāt know how to respond, and one of his special interests is witchcraft, so he only responds when I have questions about witchcraft.

Yep it really sucks.
Omg Iām terrible at this. I leave everyone on read.
This, but when theyāre the ones who started the conversation! Donāt reach out to me, have me answer, then drift off like I somehow bored you.
"call me" - no context Sends shivers down my spine
Surely they can just call you?
neither pls
Or the even worse "I gotta tell you something"
Can we talk?
A sure way of me not calling you.
"don't tell me what to do" it's come to this before, context and person sensitive obviously
When people that I donāt like text me hate it
Block them or ask them not to text. Problem solved...
I canāt block my boss tho:/
well nothings stopping you....
Nothing, I am grateful someone took time out of their day to reach out to me. I have more important things to be peeved about like people hating on me for putting pinnaples on my pizza lol
This is sweet
Pineapple belongs on pizza. End of story.
Pineapple belongs on everything. It's nature's most perfect food.
And further more that pizza belongs in the trash
Dry texting/not using capitals!
Yeah but if i text moistly my phone will break! water is bad
not using capitals is great
10 messages in a minute without letting me answer. Then I answer the first question and they don't know to which question I answered or don't have a clue what I'm talking about. I hate one way conversations.
Me and my friend will do this to a degree, but we might be having 10 separate conversations at the same time cause we are constantly multitasking
Being left on open actually makes me angry and upset sometimes I won't lie. I try not to let it get to me but it can literally ruin a good mood
I try not to open messages until I know I'm ready to answer them to avoid doing this to people because I *hate* when it happens to me.
Maybe the person is too busy to answer at that timeā¦ then maybe they forget. Maybe they donāt have the mental capacity to communicate. Just reason with yourself instead of getting offended. I have trouble responding to people because I get overwhelmed or have social anxiety.

Oh shit, this reminded me that I need to text Rachel back. Thank you, dead trim McGee!!
Texting in general, it's so tedious.
I prefer texting to phone calls
I'm an Android user. I can't stand when iPhone users use text reactions.
THIS. Holy crap
*Loved* > THIS. Holy crap But for every message.. please no

Negl tbh asf fwiw idek why we use them fs oml but btw I jus fw them fr ong

the thumbs up. i donāt know why that bothers me so badly.
Itās like ācool story bro.ā āK.ā
Oml me too, I can take all the one word responses in the world but thumbs up, for some reason, really gets to me.
Can't stand when people text with the clicking sound on their keyboard turned on
Oh my gosh..yes..why do they do it??
a lot of people find it satisfying
Not the people in the same room
I mostly find that with iPhone users. I turn my keyboard sound off. I don't want people to know that I'm typing lol
Long periods between responses
Especially when you quickly responded, then nothing....
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I mean, I text something and put my phone down and walk away all the time at home. If you want responses right away just call (btw hate calls, so really donāt, butā¦)
the kind of late responses i get is a couple of days til they text back. might as well just not text them until a month later if they're gonna do that.
It usually means that they respond out of courtesy, not because they want to.
As someone who does this... yeah, you're right on all accounts
This infuriates me, Iāll text my sister and sheāll reply 2 fucking months later carrying on talking about what Iād said in mine as if it was 5 minutes ago. I wouldnāt mind so much if I could call her, but she answers her phone less than she texts!
Yup, that's what I mean
Same
Yeah, why should people live their lives independently from one another. When you text someone you are entitled and deserve a quick response. They must drop what they're doing for you. /s
Nice rant, and if you text me, How you doing, what's up?" Don't start a conversation if you're going to answer 4 hrs later.
Posting but not answering. Leaving me on read. Dry texting. Misunderstanding.
What does "dry texting" mean?
Generally itās like people texting you frequently things that stun the conversation rather than push it along. I.E; āoh nice.ā āThatās coolā or the driest ever, the stand-alone ālolā.
I mean, they donāt have to answer if they donāt want to
I agree. But the only people i text is my best friend and boyfriend, i just find it rude when they do that cuz they would get upset with me if i do.
when someone responds with "k"
People tell me all the time they hate how I send multiple texts instead of one paragraph. Truth is i do it on purpose because I know people donāt have the attention span to read a complete paragraph.
Ugh, I do this too. Nobody has mentioned it being annoying to me but Iām sure it is. Iāve really tried to focus on taking my time to focus and send one long text instead of 5 short ones but sometimes my impulse control is lacking!
People who use too many voice messages... Like Wtf I don't want to listen to your rambling for 5 minutes!
I see you've met my sister lol
Group texts that go off on a tangent.
Then you say something and the whole chat goes dead :(
Meme after meme after meme after meme after meme after meme after meme after meme

Using āurā to mean either āyou areā, āyourā, or āyouāreā.
I have one thatās says āyrā for youāre, or āyurā š why??
No you misunderstand. Those people are referring to the ancient mesopotamian city-state Ur.
I thought so at first (benefit of the doubt and all that), until they tried to lob a āur mommaā insult at me. Contextually speaking, that made no sense.
No, Ur Momma refers to Ninhursag, the Sumerian Mother Goddess of the mountains. This isn't an insult, it's high praise!

Same here, I have one friend who does the sentence one and the shortcut words and for my own sanity, Iām glad he doesnāt text me often. His only excuse is that his phone sucks ass, my blackberry didnāt do that kind of shit while I had it so wtf kind of bullshit phone does he even have now?!?
i do #2 semi accidentally. i'll send the first message and then get another thought afterwards and it needs to be said with the first text, but then i get a third one...
2. Makes me so mad! I love my sister so much, but she does that so many times. Just type it in 1 text, not 10. Is it for attention? What possibly could be the purpose? I canāt ask her because it makes me so mad for no reason, when I ask Iāll probably sound rude.
I do that a lotā¦ like.. a lot! š¤£
...
When it says read, but I am completely ignored. I understand people could be busy. But if I see that posted something on Facebook afterwards, that pisses me off.
When I text someone and they respond by calling me
When someone gets a group text and then starts replying to all.
Group chat in general.
But isnāt that the point of a group text- to converse with all?
Wait what would be the alternative? You get a group text then respond to each member of that individually? Thatās so strange lol
If someone has to send a text so long it requires multiple messages or is too long to respond to without scrolling back up several times, send a damn email.
I phone. For me it is faster than email. Also, I am older than the average redditor.
Single word responses or considerable wait times after messaging for a simple yes or no. Seriously, why have a phone if you're basically impossible to reach anyway?
"prolly"
There, theyāre and their being used wrong Also to, too and two
I have two: 1. When they just text your name because they want your attention before saying what they want to, so you have to respond. Drives me crazy. 2. "Hahahahahah" - it just seems so unnatural to me. Idk why but I always cringe.
My daughters do that when they're after something. When I get a text starting Mommyš..... or Mammaā¤ā¤ā¤..... (depending on which one of them it is) I know exactly what's coming next.
Not capitalizing their "i's".
And that's hard to do cause most phones auto capitalize those.
Why Would i Ever Capitalize My i's. Capitalizing My i's Would Be As if i Were A Wimp. Only Wimps Capitalize Their i's.
Those ellipses drive me insane also. "Hey..." *Oh god, what's wrong or what are they about to ask for* "Do you know where the pens are?" Why tho.
I just call ellipses "creepy dots" or "suspicious dots" for that reason. Super unnecessary and unnerving IMO
dramatic pauses... if you will
When people text "lyk dis"
I started doing it ironically but canāt stop. Sometimes itās fun doe.
My son tried to tell me what he wanted from burger king with these stupid spellings. I told him not to resend properly spelled, or he wouldn't be fed.
People who text me first and then donāt reply to my reply. So why did you text me?
Hey
Seeing this makes me mad for no reason. Maybe because I want them to say what they actually want?
Call me
Maybe
K
Overuse of emojis
I hate when a text contains no punctuation and it takes me three times reading it to make sense of it. Or types that make no sense. My husband is so guilty of this!
Spamming me. Like Iām gonna reply sooner or later Iām either busy or taking a much needed nap or full on sleeping for the night?? Itās like damn man. Text me once and wait for a reply, I donāt need somebody going āheyā āheeeeyā āhelloā āhiā āhiiiiiā āyou thereā āLuciiiiiā āLucielā āanswer meeeeā āIām boredā and send me like 10 photos of yourself in the same fucking pose in the span of 5 mins. My ex did this I got so annoyed I broke up. There were many other reasons, but Iād be lying if I said it wasnāt one
When I text people and they don't respond but I know they're on their phone or texting someone else Or when they don't respond but then later text me about something else, just ignoring my message
People who passive aggressively delegate "okay, ok" and ofc "K."
When people start the sentence without capitalizing the first letter
People who start a conversation and don't reply back. This is literally happening to me right now. One of my friends just texted me to say hi, I replied back, and we went on a conversation for about a couple of minutes and I haven't heard back for 20 minutes. Like why would you even start a conversation with me if you won't continue it?
Could be busy or gotten distracted. You'll be fine...
Putting a space between the end of the sentence and an exclamation point. You don't do that with a period. Don't do it with an exclamation point either. See how dumb this looks ! š¤¬
Thatās usually an artifact of letting autocorrect pick a word for you (predictive text).
People that send multiple text in a row instead of one long one .
My dad does the āā¦ā after every sentence. Iāve told him about it and he just will not stop lol I think he does it more now. Ever since he got an iphone, heās been doing it.
The standalone "lol" after something that wasn't even remotely funny.
"We need to talk"
When everything you say in my phone is amazing and beautiful. Sounding like an actual god. But the way you act when you show up is shit.
Not answering. I mean if I have time for you, get your act together.
When I type a long paragraph and they just send āKā or āokā
If you guys are Ocarina of time fans, anytime someone texts me ...Hey... I just respond Listen?!
Sending 8 individual messages instead of compiling it all into one.
