QQ

Contrary to popular belief, QQ is not a set of crying eyes. It actually originated with the advent of Warcraft II. On battlenet, you could press ALT+Q+Q to immediately exit the match and program. Thus the term "QQ" was to tell people to just quit because they are unskilled. The term later developed and lost it's origin and is usually mistaken as crying eyes.

In contemporary gamer culture, QQ has become the mainstream emoticon for crying eyes, though it is still often used in it's traditional sense.

Originally started in Warcraft, where Alt+QQ is a hotkey to quiting the game.

When someone bitches or whines everyone would say 'QQ', telling them to quit the game because they suck so much.

It often confuses people into thinking that it means, "Cry more noob", but this is totally incorrect. The fact that 'QQ' looks like a pair of teary eyes is just a mere coincidence.

Literally, QQ is a set of crying eyes. However, given its usual context in online games, it is usually assumed to mean "Cry more noob."

basically chinese msn, it has a penguin logo and random games

For modern English speakers, QQ can be used in various ways. It is usually synonimous with crying, or whining:
- It can be used as a complete response dismissively. "Stop whining and leave." -> "QQ"
- It can be used mockingly. "Cry/Whine more" -> "QQ more."
- It can be used as an emote to summarize whimpering or whining. "I hate this. T-T" -> "I hate this. QQ"

For English speakers who are out of touch with modern culture (either too old, too FOB, or too noob to know better), QQ is used as abbr of "Quick Question."

For people from China, QQ is a commonly known instant messaging service, similar to AIM and MSN.

A set of crying eyes, pronounced as "Cue Cue" commonly used in MMO games. Frequently used in conjunction "Pew Pew"

QQ is sometimes used on the Internet as an abbreviation for crying; it is supposedly visually similar to two big eyes with tears at the bottom. For further reading, see emoticon.
