(Adj.)
Shortening of "loco".
Can be used as an endearment, similar to "fool." Tightly associated with surf, skate, and snow, "loke" evokes boldness and confidence, but not specifically aggression. A lokester is essentially the foil to a gangster; he is a self-reliant chiller rather than a loyal menace.
Not to be confused with: Loc or Loc', which is short for Local and is widely used in resort town with high densities of tourists, transplants, students, drifters, or other non-loc's.
Origin: Southern California, ultimately from Spanish. Probably emerged from bilingual communities in the Los Angeles basin sometime around 1990. By 2010, the ethnic connotations were basically lost and the word was used by white teenagers in Northern California and elsewhere.

Get the Lokemug. A verb that combines like and loke. Used when you are in love with someone but also deeply like the person.
I want to find someone I love AND want to spend my days with, just like I picture Chrissy Teigen and John Legend--so in loke even after years of marriage.

Get the Lokemug. If you are here, you might know someone called Ethan or you just here. However, for those who know someone called Ethan, then I want you to know that he is very nice and kind. If you need any help, he will cheer you up and life would be better with him.
I know this might sound very cliché, but Ethan has made my life better. I was pretty lonely before that but he has given me happiness and made life more lively. Thanks for reading this and you are welcome for all the cringe I gave you.
