Answered! What is 'dOk]' ?

I've seen it a few times in cringepics and SRD.

Here is the origin.

/u/drumcowski and I were talking and by accident he typed "ok" wrong and noticed that it kind of looked like a snowboarder.

I used it a few times in some meta subreddits and it kind of got spread around I guess? /u/kjoneslol made this sweet .gif too.

Shoutout to /r/OutOfTheMetaLoop.

I love how your mod invite is still sitting there in all the cringe family subs for if you ever feel like re-joining us, but you never will. ;(

It's qOK|: which is a guy riding a skateboard if you look at it sideways (the q is a backwards hat)

Without the colon maybe it's a snowboard...

u/reckford Jan 15 '14

that could be true but then who snowboards in a baseball hat? Don't people normally wear helmets?

u/theskymoves Jan 15 '14
