Quexe
Quexe (pronounced /ˈkwɛks/) is a neologism and item of internet slang meaning to be insanely amused or to laugh uncontrollably. In use, it commonly appears as the adjective quexed (“overcome with laughter”), as in: “I’m quexed, bro.” The term occurs mainly in informal online conversation, messaging, and memes, and may also be used as a verb (to quexe), a noun (a quexe, i.e., a bout of intense laughter), or as an interjection (“Quexe!”). [citation needed]
Etymology
Quexe is a coined term from the mid-2020s. Its spelling echoes English words beginning with qu- (e.g., quick, quip) and ends with -xe, a stylized orthography associated with internet vernacular. No etymology has been established in reliable sources. [citation needed]
