The Internet has entered our lives so firmly that for many it seems impossible to exist without it. People communicate with each other, using a certain slang, icons, for example, a colon in combination with a closed bracket or several closed brackets. The use of Russian-speaking adolescents in messages of expressions and words such as “smokey-smokey” or “spokey noki”, “yapatolom” or “rzhunimagu” is considered the norm. But along with them, there are also acronyms such as IMHO or LOL. But if "IMHO" is now understood by many, then what it means to "lol" remains a mystery to most users. Let's try to figure it out thoroughly.
What does lol mean?
Some linguists claim that this abbreviation is derived from the English expression "laughing out loud", which translates as the phrase "laugh out loud, rampant and loud." Others insist that “lol”, although laughter, is derived from a different expression. They believe that this Internet meme was born from the English “lots of laughs”, that is, a phrase translated as “a lot of laughs”. So, wondering what “lol” means, we can confidently answer: this term is associated with laughter. Communicating on the network, users, in a hurry to express themselves, reduce words, simplify whole expressions. Therefore, often instead of a whole phrase, they write only the first letters of the words that make up the expression. Moreover, the word "lol" can be written both in lowercase and in capital letters. English spelling is also acceptable: LOL. It is enough to write this Internet meme so that it becomes clear to the readers: the author of the post is laughing, he is having fun, he appreciated the joke!
Cool photos
First, it should be explained what is hidden under the concept of “lol photography”. Of course, this is a photo that is hard to look at without laughing. And it is precisely under them that users often leave comments in which they use the acronym “LOL”. This short word contains the meaning of the whole expression: “I laugh! I laugh uncontrollably! I’m just falling under the table! ” Such masterpieces are called so - “lol-photo”, that is, super-cool, ridiculously impossible. They are not always originals, "real", real. Very often, jokers resort to Photoshop, process photos, come up with funny inscriptions for them. And sometimes, pictures are taken according to a pre-thought out plot composition. One way or another, but it’s ridiculous, people like it, it means it has the right to exist, if it does not offend someone’s dignity.
Comedian Artists
It is hard to find someone who would not like the movie. Especially comedy. The famous Charlie Chaplin even today delights his fans. His image is used in modern videos, in the plots of songs, dance compositions. Such lol actors as Louis de Funes, Pierre Richard, Yuri Nikulin, George Vitsin, Evgeni Morgunov became worthy successors of the unforgettable comedian. Films with the participation of these artists can not be watched with a sour physiognomy to this day. Today, on the stages of theaters and on television screens (as well as computer monitors), the humorous performances of the Petrosyan Theater “Crooked Mirror”, “Mask Show”, “6 frames”, “Comedy Club” and others are demonstrated. The talent of many comedian actors is so multifaceted that they successfully play serious roles. But acting as comedians, the actors so amuse the audience and the audience that they can be confidently put on a par with the classics of the game lol genre Charlie Chaplin and Louis de Funes.
