I have been hearing a lot of my malay friends speak with the slang "kot".

Like...

macam itu kot
kita boleh pergi kot

it's almost like every sentence they end with kot.

Where does this thing come from?

Kot is the surname of a Polish szlachta (nobility) family.
Although its literal meaning is cat, the surname origin is probably Polish mediaeval name of a person who starts settling people in a village or in a town. The first mention of the name was in the 13th century.[citation needed]
The Kot family uses the Doliwa, Pilawa, Rola, or Kot Morski coat of arms.

i thinks its derived from the word takut

takut takut tak jadi. hence tak jadi kot.

the origin:

takut-takut ; a slight of uncertain.
sample - "TS foreverarone, takut-takut dia jadi gay sebab takde amoi nak"

so it became "kot-kot"
later kot.

agak nyela kot...
