Kik - The Extended Definition.


Alright I am just going to get straight to the point on this one. Far too many times I have been asked what “kik” means, and it is not like I would expect you to know what it means, I just get tired of explaining it time and time again. So this here will, hopefully, be the last time I have to explain it. Instead of repeating myself and eventually just start giving people half answers, I will just send them this link. Perhaps that is why you are here, I said kik, you asked somewhere along the lines of “what does that mean” and I just replied with a link. Also if you do not want to hear or do not care about the back story and just want to know what it means, go to the third paragraph.

Basically back in 2010 I believe, I was talking with one of my friends on Facebook (shows how old this is (this statement is for future generations when I became famous for other things as well and this is added to my biography)), and I went to type “lol” on my keyboard, however I was not paying attention and I typed “kik” instead, and if you look at a standard “qwerty” keyboard you will see that the “k” is right next to the “l” and the “I” is right next to the “o”. Typing “I” instead of “o” is a common mistake, however I apparently jumped over a whole column of keys. Also if you do not know what “lol” means because you are in or from the future and “kik” is the common response, just look it up.

Now when I typed kik and sent it to my friend I noticed what I had done, and quite honestly, I liked it because it was different. I like to be different. So I decided from that point on, I would no longer say lol, I would say kik. However again, people would ask me, what it meant, what it stood for, so I had to come up with something. I thought and thought, and finally came up with something. It stood for “knowing it kills”, kills in the meaning of “that’s so funny! I’m dying laughing! You’re killing me!” After a while it got played with a bit and developed a few different meanings, like “killing insane kids” and “knowing I’m kidding” at one point, it was added that the “kills” in “knowing it kills” could stand for “knowing I’m laughing loudly, sorry” or “seriously” instead of sorry.

It will always stay “knowing it kills” though, because that is the original term for it, not to say that the other terms couldn’t be applied. I say kik instead of lol though, mainly for one reason than any else, the fact that I’ve been doing it for so long now, saying lol feels wrong and unnatural, and, not me. So that basically is really it, if you are still confused, tell me what about and I might explain better. I shall leave you with more so a question, than a quote this time, it is this:

If Pinocchio said "My nose will grow right now" what would happen?

  1. That is totally amazing! I tell everyone that sorta, and I kinda get tired of explaining it, but then again I don't. So yeah, I'm just so confusing.
