Please fellow OH users, please help me out


 


I ve asked this before but i still didnt really get a proper answer


 


I ve been seeing it more often now and i m confused


 


does lel mean laughing exceptionally loud?


 


would then lvl be laughing very loud?


 


and why is lel becoming a thing?


 


it reminds me of that one search i did (to check if it exists) where someone was laughing really hard on the floor while pretending to be a carrot.


 


Thank you for your attention and please help me with this lel

1. Lel
Unlike what many people think lel is not an acronym in the same fashion that LOL is (it does not mean laughing extremely loud, laughing extra loud or similar). Lel (and variations including lal) resulted from the use of random vowels substituted in place of the 'o' in LOL. These vowels were used in an attempt to be different from the millions of internet game fags. The word however, in essence, still means LOL.
guy1: generic xyz funny comment 
guy2: lel 
gu2: *explodes*
So it's not "laughing exceptionally loud", but still has the same meaning as lol? I donnu if I got it.

Always in lower caps. Used when someone finds something derisory or pathetic. Its use depends on the mood of the user: the more bored they are, the more they'll be inclined to use it.

Pronunciation: lÉ›l 
Etymology: lol, with the o replaced by an e. The reason is phonetic: lel, when pronounced, seems a bit more sarcastic.
A: I watched a censored porn movie last night 
B: lel.

A: I + 2 = 3, and H - 2 = 5, (random bs that lasts for 2 pages) thus I + H = 2 
B: lel, took me a while to realize you were trolling.
 
This makes more sense to be.
