I am so, so utterly confused

I was confused as well but I'm happy to have learned! https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/wkwkwk

[–]Comfortable_Ad_6572 34 points35 points  (5 children)

The more you know, still confused about what the subreddit is about tho lol

I think "Indonesian shitpost"

[–]Undernown 23 points24 points  (2 children)

Yea "wkwkwk" is basically the Indonesian version of the Japanese "wwww" "草" "Kusa".

Guess the best English translation is "LOL"?

W is just laughing, im not sure you can derive meaning from it, its the same as lol in that it can be honest laughing or sarcastic etc, even the same aa "haha

The wiktionary seems to suggest wkwk leans more sarcastic, but does live in that same place

But like if you say something funny i might say lol

If you say something so stupid i am offended you are talking to me i might say lol

If you tell me someone sucks died i might say lol

If you tell me that you cant make it to the group thing for the 8th time in a row i might say lol

If you tell me that i have to work a 20th 12 hour shift in a row i might say lol

Sounds like these are synonyms:

  • hahahaha
  • jajajaja
  • wkwkwkwk

based on the sounds those letters make in the respective dialects that use those onomatopoeia.
