About

"Huahuehuahue" is an onomatopoeic expression of hearty laughter in Portuguese, equivalent to "hahahaha" in English. Due to its frequent use by Brazilians in massively multiplayer online games such as Ragnarok Online and League of Legends, the phrase is also used by non-Brazilians in a pejorative manner similar to the connotation carried by the Korean expression "KEKEKE" in the multiplayer real-time strategy game Starcraft.

Origin

According to League of Legends forum user GreenEyedMonster's explanation, "Huahue" and its variations, along with other phrases like "BR?" (are you Brazilian?) and "Gibe moni plos" ("give me money please) became widespread through the massively multi-player online game Ragnarok Online in 2003, which saw a "literal race war" break out between Brazilian players and an alliance of non-Portuguese speaking players. This sentiment is thought to be embodied in a webcomic portraying the Brazilian takeover of a massively multi-player online game, created by an unknown artist and posted to the Brazilian Arena IG forums[1] on September 24th, 2008.

Wow this qame is actually pretty decent I wonder why not many people play it BR In Town BR BR? BRI Hmm? BR BR BR? Uh. I'm not Brazilian this is the North American version of the ga- Gibe moni plos Sorry I only have enough for a few potions I report yu
