Categories: Internet Slang

Ctrl Shift Qq is an internet slang term that is used to express sarcasm or to mock someones intelligence or statement. It is derived from the keyboard combination Ctrl + Shift + Q, which in some software or web browsers is a shortcut to quickly close all open tabs or windows. However, in this slang term, the letter “q” in lowercase is deliberately added to make it appear as if the shortcut is Ctrl + Shift + Qq, implying that the person is pressing the letter “q” twice.

Examples:
1. If someone makes a ridiculous comment likeI think the Earth is flat because I saw it in a dream,” someone else might respond with sarcasm:
Oh yeah, Ctrl Shift Qq, because your dream is definitely more reliable than centuries of scientific evidence.”

2. Imagine a person showing off their supposed knowledge by saying something like “I’ve read a summary of a book once, so I’m practically an expert on the topic.”
Someone else could mockingly reply:
Wow, Ctrl Shift Qq, congratulations on becoming an overnight expert. We should all bow down to your immense wisdom.”

Synonyms:
quit
