This rings true to me (social circle : early 20's - early 30's).
Related : my (ex) girlfriend once noted that "k" - as opposed to "kk" - was a sign of mild annoyance or anger. Turns out I was actually annoyed when I used it, but hadn't even thought about it consciously until then.
- DrewRWx 13y agoWeird, I have one friend that uses "kk" and it registers as short and dismissive.
- smacktoward 13y agoI used to have a boss who did this in actual speech. He hated talking to people, and when you were talking to him, you could tell how badly he wanted you to shut up by how many times he'd say "cool." As in, "cool" wasn't too bad, "cool cool" meant mild annoyance, and "cool cool cool" meant "FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE RIGHT NOW." He'd usually escalate through these stages the longer you talked. "Cool." "Cool cool." "Cool cool cool." "That's all I've got, boss!"
