"kljasd" was a term created on July 29 of 2015. It was an attempt to make an alternative to outdated terms such as "lol" or "kek". It was suggested when an anonymous user on 4chan believed it would be the next trend. It was later posted on reddit by /u/jjgra.

It was purposefully made hard to be pronounced in real life, however some users have suggested it be pronounced as "kill-jazzed".
