Borrowed fromKoreanㅋㅋㅋ(keukeukeu,“haha”,representation of laughter). Since this is often used inStarCraft matches,Blizzard,StarCraft’s developers, decided to reference it inWorld of Warcraft: when a player of the Horde faction types "lol" using the/say messaging command, members of the opposing faction see it as "kek".[1] Not related to "kik", a typo of "lol".

(Netherlands) eye-catching (visually pleasing in a hip or bold manner)
2016 February 19, Thijs Zonneveld, “De beige sjaal van Dick Advocaat is een statement”, inAlgemeen Dagblad:
Dick doet er niet aan mee. Geenkekke overhemden, geen moeilijke kapsels (al was dat over zijn schedel gekamde haar dat hij vroeger had ook een soort van hip, destijds), geen laklederen laarsjes en geen Only God Can Judge Me-tatoeage in zijn nek.
Dick does not go along with it. Noflashy shirts, no difficult hairdo (although the hairstyle that he used to have, hair combed sideways, was also some kind of trendy, at that time), no glossy leather boots and no "Only God Can Judge Me" tattoos on his neck.
2013 October 13, Sjoerd Hartholt, “Zo stoppen we de terreur van de straatwervers”, inHP/De Tijd:
In feite is het verschil met bedelende zwervers niet heel groot, alleen zijn die meestal veel minder opdringerig en aanwezig. Een ander verschil is dat straatwervers vaakkekke meisjes en jongens zijn die bovendien zeggen dat je kapsel tof is en dat je een relaxt persoon lijkt.
In fact the difference with begging vagrants is not very large, but these are usually much less intrusive and prominent. Another difference is that street promoters are oftencheeky girls and boys who moreover say that your hairstyle is swell and that you seem like a relaxed kind of person.
