ORIGIN OF KLK

The word KLK was born in MSN Messenger, where for convenience, its users began to use abbreviations of words, as well as images to replace them. After MSN, it continued to spread thanks to Windows Live Messenger.

Many believe that the word klk was born as a consequence of the influence of the urban genre on young Dominicans, since in its beginnings, the word klk was frowned upon.

Klk is used colloquially to say “hello” or “how are you”, and derives from the expression “what is there”, although because of the way they speak, Dominicans say “what what” or “Keloké”.
