KL meaning on Snapchat

When used on social media apps like Snapchat, KL is a shortened term for ‘Cool.’ It serves as a quick response, often used to acknowledge a message or express approval.

For instance, if someone shares a story or a piece of information, responding with “KL” can be a way of acknowledging the message without engaging in a long conversation. It’s a nod of recognition or a sign of agreement.

The informal term can also be used to express a laid-back, relaxed attitude. For example, if someone proposes a plan or a suggestion, simply replying with “KL” can indicate that you are cool with the idea. It’s a way of giving consent or showing approval in a casual manner.

While it often pops up on Snapchat, the slang wasn’t created on the platform, so you may see it used across various different social media apps including TikTok, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Twitter.
