To 'jol' is to party or have a blast in South African English, and a joller is someone who does it professionally, or at least very enthusiastically. The word has a warm, celebratory feel to it; calling someone a joller is rarely an insult. It's the kind of label worn with pride by anyone who considers themselves the life of the braai.

A loller is someone who laughs — or at least claims to laugh — at absolutely everything, turning 'lol' from a reaction into a full personality type. The term can be affectionate or dismissive depending on context. Used sincerely, it describes a person who's always finding the comedy in a situation. Used with shade, it's aimed at someone who uses lol as a social shield, deflecting real conversations with hollow chuckles. Early internet forums coined it as a playful noun-form of the acronym before emoji took over the role.
