L / W
Definition
L stands for “lose” and is used to describe a loss, failure, or something negative. W means “win” and is used for success, victory, or anything positive. Gen Z often uses these as quick reactions in comments or chats.
Examples
"A person announces online they have been nominated for an award. A friend comments: “W.”"
"You’ll see “L” and “W” all over social media, gaming, and group chats to quickly label outcomes as good or bad."
