Many people know that a new culture of communication has appeared on the Internet. This is evident in things like new memes, various heroes and characters that are being ridiculed and mentioned by millions of people. The effect of the appearance of such a culture has not been studied by anyone, since this phenomenon is relatively new. But experienced Internet users can draw certain conclusions on their own (especially the abbreviation ROFL, what does it mean, they know, like other abbreviations, phrases and their meaning).
Where do new memes appear?
So, speaking about the areas in which new characters, phrases and phrases most often appear, we should mention various large communities, as well as online games. Speaking of the first, it is important to emphasize that these can be forums, social networks, sites of one narrow niche, on which their own audience “dwells”. Terms such as ROFL (what this abbreviation means, we will analyze later) came from here. Later, they spread through the network and "took root" in the slang of millions of people.
Internet games are another matter. They are more common than communities because more people come here. And such phrases, again, as ROFL (which means in "Dota 2" this word, as in any otheronline game, we will also describe below) are used in them just as actively, although they may have taken them out of forums and blogs.
It doesn't matter who exactly invented a trend, character or word - it all takes root on the net, and popularity grows like a snowball.
Most common
So, let's talk about the most common ones. We have already mentioned above that there is such a word as ROFL. What does this abbreviation mean? Everything is very simple - this is an abbreviation of the phrase rolling on floor laughing (that is, “rolling on the floor with laughter”, literally). Obviously, they use this to show how funny the interlocutor turned out to be. See, it's simple! In addition to him, there are also memes and jokes. For example, LOL (laughing out loud - loud laughter) and many others.
How to be "in the know"?
How do you know all these abbreviations? How to be aware that there is such a thing as ROFL, what does it mean and in what cases can it be applied? The answer here is obvious - you just need to immerse yourself in the Internet environment, for example, regularly go to some kind of entertainment portal, forum or play online. Then you will really know if not about all, then about the most popular and used trends.
