New Word Thursday: 'lerl'

A short weekly feature (yes, we can have weekly features after two days. Because we're awesome.) in which Skippy creates a new word to add to the English language. Or any other languages, really, except programming languages because if you try to make up words in them, they just don't work. I've tried. One day, I will get Visual BASIC to "splurgify" an integer.
Anyway, here's today's word, based on those annoying people who can't tell the difference between WoW and RL.


lerl [lerel]
verb
1. to include acronyms normally used when playing online games whilst actually speaking:
'He lerls like, all the time'
'Lerl your sentences boy!'
[example of someone 'lerling']
'I said to him rofl, lol lol, pwned, ttyl brb.'
'He said that he really cba, and tbh I agree.'

2. converting normal english into leetspeak (13375p34k) whilst actually speaking
[example of someone 'lerling' with leetspeak]
'That's really 1337, you 83457.'
'I h4d nach0s f0r 1unxh'

Also: lerler [lerela]
noun

ORIGIN Modern English : derived from the first two characters of the word: '1337', ('le') and the acronym 'rl' meaning 'real life'. ('lerl').
