Parents are finding it increasingly difficult to understand their children because of the emergence of special computer slang, although they themselves once spoke the language of hippies and informals that is incomprehensible to adults. Now many dictionaries are being created that introduce us to new phrases and expressions, making life much easier for many, and, hopefully, broadening our horizons.
The combination of letters "lol" is often heard in the colloquial speech of young people and is found in Internet chats. Let's talk today about what lol means. Where did this word come from?
Meaning of the word lol
This combination of letters is an abbreviation of a whole phrase in English and means "lot of/out laugh". Thus, Internet users show their emotions when texting, instead of emoticons and other signs that can also draw a smile or laughter::-),:-D,;-)), and so on.
Naturally, Russian-speaking Internet users do not always write "lol", but use their native letters and it looks something like this: LOL (very funny), lol (funny) and such a mutation as "ololo", which meanslol, but already as a mockery, irony and sarcasm.
All this is nothing but Internet jargon, a special language that is not always understood by an adult, especially if the entire computer vocabulary created by the founders of the site Upyachka.ru and ordinary citizens of our vast country is used. You can peep all the masterpieces of Russian Internet jargon in Upyachka's original dictionary "Onotolitsa".
More about what lol means
Knowing the tongue-tiedness of the English language, it is not surprising when a given word has several more meanings that may be useful to you one day. According to slang dictionaries, lol has a variety of meanings, but not far from the original, that is, ridicule.
- Simple person, worthless, mediocre, inept, stupid, which means lol in some circles of our society.
- Laughing at someone or silent laughter.
- A person who doesn't understand something, stupid also means lol, which is very reminiscent of the word "loh", but not so offensive, especially when you don't know what meaning was given to this meaning, because they also say "lol" about perky, cheerful person, the soul of the company.
- And, of course, do not forget about expressing emotions through the word lol, which means laughter, fervent laughter to the pain in the stomach.
After a long search for the meaning of the word "lol", one can come to the following conclusion: finally there is a word that in itself has so many meanings that it is not clear whether to be offended by it or not. By-In my opinion, all the traditions of the Russian language are observed: the word has several meanings, sometimes completely opposite. Let's say like parsley and green dollar. Now you can openly say that a person acted stupidly, but without offending him at the same time and without calling him stupid, but only by saying "lol".
One could fantasize about the fact that such words can bring world peace, but goodness and justice are contained not so much in words as in heartfelt deeds. Therefore, let there be more laughter in your lives, and if you want to express your emotions through computer slang, then I will laugh with you: ololo, comrades, and lol!
