In official documents and appeals to the public, this word does not appear, but the Internet is literally full of news, tweets and comments that someone is somewhere above something “eroflit”. What this means is a completely logical question that arises among many Russian-speaking users of social networks who are not familiar with American borrowing.
The origin and meaning of the word rofl
"Rofl" - tracing paper from the English abbreviation ROFL. It is deciphered as follows: Rolling On the Floor Laughing. Translated, this phrase means "rolling on the floor laughing" or "rolling on the floor laughing." It is easy to guess that it is used to describe something hilariously funny.
Having migrated to the Russian language, the term "rofl" has grown over with all the characteristic grammatical signs and qualities. Now this is not just an abbreviation, but a full-fledged masculine noun, meaning something very funny, hilarious, making you ride on the floor from uncontrollable laughter. The process itself, when someone laughs at something so much, is called "fucking."
Examples of use
As mentioned earlier, in official documents and journalistic texts this expression cannot be used. And when is it possible? This question is easier to answer with examples.
| Situation | Example |
| In a friendly company, commenting on a good joke. | “This is rofl!”, “I haven’t blown it for a long time!” |
| Telling a fun story. | "Then we crashed for a whole week from this!" |
| Commenting on the Internet your favorite video, post or other content. | "Author, it's just rofl, standing ovation!" |
| In Internet disputes - with sarcasm. | "This is a joke! I mean, the whole village was flirted?" |
| To express your attitude to the content. | "In general, the whole video is great, but this joke in the eighteenth minute is just an erof!" |
In almost all cases, the word “fuck” has a positive connotation, is a compliment or a way to express delight and admiration. You can flaunt someone, but mainly in an offensive context: provoke, mock.

Based on what the word “fuck” means and how it appeared in Russian, one can also consider a synonym, very capacious, to be similar to the American abbreviation LMAO, which is deciphered in a less “pious” way, but literally means the same. In addition, one can not help but recall the incredibly popular short word LOL, meaning laughing out loud - "laughing really loudly" or just "yelling."
