origin · Source
ㄲㅂ likely spread as a fast chat spelling of “까비,” itself a playful clipped form of “아까비/아깝다.” Its exact first use is unclear, but it became common in online games, messenger chats, and community comments because it is short, expressive, and easy to type after a near miss.

"I used a coupon and got it for half price. Total ㄱㅇㄷ."
originㄱㅇㄷ comes from the initial consonants of “개이득,” a casual internet expression built from the intensifier “개-” plus “이득,” meaning gain or profit. It spread widely through online communities, games, and everyday chat in the early 2010s; the exact first platform is unclear.

"That comeback in the last round was seriously legendary."
origin레게노 is commonly traced to clips from Korean internet broadcaster Woowakgood’s gaming content, where the English caption LEGEND was read as LEGENO. The exact live-broadcast moment is often referenced through fan clips, so the year is approximate, but the term spread widely through YouTube, communities, and chat as a playful substitute for 레전드.
