The Internet has become an integral part of the life of each of us, but we all use the capabilities of the World Wide Web in our own way. For many, the Internet is a way of expressing oneself, searching for information, communication, creativity and work. Here, each of us can be ourselves.
As in real life, on the network we often resort to obscene language, but we must pay tribute to this amazing invention of mankind: the Internet helps us curse less! Through various abbreviations, we shorten all words, including not too hospitable ones.
In English, there are many abbreviations of words that today are becoming part of a living, spoken language. Who today has not met word forms such as WTF, LOL, IMHO, OMG and, of course, LMAO on the Internet or even real life? What does this mean, you ask? The totality of these short abbreviations is the language of the Internet.
Decoding abbreviations
You will not find the meaning of the word LMAO in any explanatory dictionary. But as a slang word that came from English, it is understandable to almost every Internet user.
Due to the inconsistency in terms of Russian pronunciation, the word LMAO remains only within the Network. Despite censorship, this word appears before us in the phrase Laughing my ass off - lmao, which is untranslatable into Russian, which means "laugh to tears," "laugh until you drop," "laugh wildly." The most common use case that a modern English online dictionary provides is in the following dialog:
- Imagine, Billy fell off his horse, and his pelvis was collected in six different places!
- LMAO!
Well, such a dialogue does not seem ridiculous to everyone, but in approximately such a crazy context, the meaning of the abbreviation lmao can be clearly shown. The literal meaning of the popular Internet acronym still sounds somewhat worse. The person writing the word LMAO is torn with laughter, implying that even his “fifth point” is torn from the body.
Do not take to heart!
However, today this acronym does not sound like something indecent. In a specific conversation, you are free to use this internet word. He has his own synonyms. For example, the word LOL, which means "laugh out loud" - laughing out loud, lots of laughing. Or one more - ROTFL, the meaning of which lies in the adverbial circulation "rolling on the floor laughing" - "rolling on the floor laughing."
Still, the question arises as to why this very abbreviation can be found on the Internet most often? LMAO - what is this word form? The fact is that the acronym lmao has a brighter emotional coloring, reveals the whole palette of feelings of a laughing man!
LMAO - what is it?
For Russian-speaking people, lmao is often just an empty phrase. But among Internet users, the word lmao is gaining immense popularity, which means the acquisition of a number of derivative adjectives, nouns, verbs and other parts of speech. Could the creators of Esperanto and other world languages imagine that a language invented by "popular forces" would develop and spread so dynamically and independently? It is very interesting to study the Internet language of communication as independent, universal and understandable to everyone! See for yourself.
