Yesterday, I was on a game with other 3 brazilian guys and just one non-brasilian who speak English.
We "Br" were chating in Portuguese. The other guy was mute, of course.

At a certain point, one of the Br wrote "KKK", and then the English-talking guy said: "YEAH!"

I got worried, so I felt in need to state it clearly, and thats the reason I am writing this:

Here in Brasil, the letter "K" is pronounced "cah", with an open "a" (like the "a" in "father").
In chats, emails and other texts, when we want to express laughings, we dont use "lol"; instead, we use "hahahaha", or "KKKKKKKKK". Spanish people uses jejejejeje, and so on. You got the point?

Thats it: when you, English-speaking-people read some "kkkkkkkkk", know that there is a brasilian laughing out loud. If you read "kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk", rest asured he/she is falling from his/her chair, and will need some time to recover his/her breath.

But given the lack of space available, and given the fact that, in DF, typing means DYING, that br guy didnt laugh that much...

So, next time you see a brasilian writing "kkk" ingame, please dont call him/her a racist - nor go wear your mask-n-gun-rig, for pete's sake. He is just "LOL'ing".

Nice one Ped, I probably would've been one to shout at whoever used those three letters so thank you for the education. But I must ask, what relevance has pistol pete go in all this?

Also, you should warn me of such topics before posting as I thought you were about to blemish the looney bin's name! Nearly had a heart attack!

Whew i ready for fireworks lol

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Isn't "for Pete's sake" a well known slang?? If not, sorry. I just dont like writing "for God's sake". Im not a religious man, but I dont like to disobey rules, so I avoid these expressions...




Edit: And telling from your reactions, looks like my strategy worked when I wrote that topic's title, huh?
"A propaganda é a alma do negócio"

Oh and I thought kkkkkkk meant that someone was agreeing with me vehemently. As in,

> "Hey can you stop killing me so much please?"
> "k"

Your usage was perfecto! Just messing.

JeJeJe

I saw four ks "kkkk" the other day. I assumed it must have been something which you have described. Ever read the "Code Switching" segment of NPR (National Public Radio)? www.npr.org. There's some good stuff on similar topics.

I learned something new, cool. I saw kkk the other day as well, good to know is was the LOL version

I thought this was a thread that was going to explain how to throw strikes. Play ball!!!!

It happened again yesterday...

Looks like 99% of the players never read the forum. I needed to explain this KKK to another non-brazilian guy. And explaining it ingame is a pain, believe me... I was not fast enough to prevent him to teamkill me at least twice for my "weird laugh"...

I have a serious question. What were they thinking it was? Even I knew it means LOL in Brazil since I know at least a few words in different languages. What were they thinking it even meant?

Haven't you ever heard of KKK?
Google for "Ku Klux Klan"...
