asdfghjkl

When used in chat, the string of letter ASDFGHJKL (more often typed "asdfghjkl") is used to represent intense emotion. It can be used to convey excitement, frustration, a feeling of being overwhelmed, or just indicate a random burst of energy. Essentially, when someone types "asdfghjkl," they might be at a loss for words, feeling a surge of emotions, or reacting to something unexpected. They are metaphorically smashing their keyboard. For example:

The letters asdfghjkl are the sequence of the keys on the middle row of a standard QWERTY keyboard, They are typed by running a finger over the keys from left to right. The second row of the "QWERTY" keyboard is known as the "home row," as that is where the four fingers of each hand return to as a base. Those of the left hand rest on the letters A, S, D, and F, while those of the right hand rest on H, J, K, and L.

ASDFGHJKL is used as an interjection. An interjection is a part of speech that expresses a sudden emotion or sentiment and is typically set apart from a sentence by an exclamation point, or by a comma when the feeling is not as strong. Interjections are often one or a few words that can stand alone or be incorporated into sentences. Examples include "Wow!", "Oh no!", "Hey!", and "Ugh." They can convey a wide range of emotions, from surprise and excitement to disgust and disappointment. Interjections do not grammatically link to other parts of a sentence, serving mainly to express the speaker's immediate reaction or feelings.
