When I use it, I mean ok, because thatβs what it actually means. Itβs simply a way to acknowledge someone was heard. I will not be changing bc others read more into it. Tis way too exhausting to consider every hidden meaning someone might have.
Boss said I canβt work from home anymore. I simply replied π
Right? I've been using it to mean, "acknowledged", for years now. My kids told me just the other day that their group does not, and that they have to remind themselves I'm not being sarcastic when I send it. I have reached "that" age, it would appear.
what other meaning could it have?
Ok and fuck you
lol when I read your comment in my inbox I had to stop and think what could I have said for this response
Haha yeah that would have been a crazy one with no context
"Whatever." Just depends on the context.
The only way I see it as being negative is to look at it like the "yeah, okay" Jennifer Lawrence meme.

I don't care all that much. Sometimes a thumbs up is the way to acknowledge you heard them.
Sometimes people see things the way they want to see them. Not your fault.
ππ» ok there bud.
Found the Canadian. :)
First link I get an add and immidiately close. Second link I get an message that the video has failed.
There is a message in this somewhere about the state of the Internet that I can't quite articulate.
The people that use it this way ruin it for everyone else.
If you were on the Internet before emojis took off, the single letter "k" had the same energy.
I've always thought it had the same energy in that they both simply acknowledge having seen the message. What's wrong with that?
Wait it did? I used it all the time, because it was shorter than "ok".

I know. One of the reason why my entire friend circle finds it offensive.
Lest we forget the true conversation stopper...

Still counts as a contract agreement
Idk I hate when people get non obvious.
I use it as an acknowledgement at work, and to be a sarcastic asshole with my friends. Context is key.

This is fucking dumb.
This is fuck you thumb

One of the few times I can actually sense sarcasm/passive aggression via 'text'
It is apparent in the right context.
How boomers vs zoomers see it
the "heavy checkmark" is my "fuck you checkmark"
Especially a good one to say to your boss.

I can't explain it, but it's the boomerest emoji.
