What is rofl?

ROFL

ROFL is an internet slang acronym for "rolling on the floor laughing." It is used to express extreme amusement, similar to LOL ("laughing out loud") and LMAO ("laughing my ass off").

  • Meaning: ROFL indicates that someone finds something hilarious to the point of physical reaction, as if they are actually rolling on the floor due to laughter.
  • Usage: It's most common in text-based communication like online forums, instant messaging, and social media.
  • Variations: There are variations like ROTFL ("rolling on the floor, totally laughing"), and sometimes a number is added (e.g., "ROFLMAO") to indicate the degree of laughter.
  • Evolution: While still used, ROFL is perceived as slightly less contemporary than LOL or LMAO in some online circles. The concept of expressing humor in text has led to the development of emojis and GIFs, which have partially replaced acronyms like ROFL.
