Definitions
A call-out or prompt asking someone to acknowledge that they took a loss — either in an argument, a situation, a decision, or life in general. Dropping an L check on someone is a way of formally presenting evidence of their failure and requesting a receipt. It's confrontational but usually playful, delivered alongside screenshots, receipts, or simply a knowing look. The person being L checked is expected to admit the L or face escalating mockery. Not taking your L gracefully after an L check is itself an L.
He said he was the better cook and then burned toast — someone send him the L check immediately.

- int check72%
A call-out or self-assessment determining whether someone is playing intentionally badly in a game — deliberately dying, feeding kills, or throwing objectives on purpose. Dropping an int check on a teammate is equal parts accusation and interrogation: are you actually this bad or is something deliberate happening here? The check invites either a confession, a defensive explanation, or a meltdown in chat. A staple of competitive gaming communication, it has migrated into everyday discourse to question whether someone's terrible decision-making is wilful or just genuinely catastrophic.
- llm check70%
An LLM check is the act of running something past an AI language model to verify, fact-check, summarize, or improve it before trusting or using it — the 2020s equivalent of Googling something, but more conversational and more prone to confident-sounding errors. When someone says they're doing an LLM check, they're acknowledging both the utility and the skepticism: the model might be right, or it might be hallucinating with complete conviction. LLM checks have become a reflex for students, writers, and professionals navigating a world where AI assistance is ubiquitous.
- lodi check70%
A call-out or verification moment where someone is assessed — by themselves or by the community — to determine whether they are truly worthy of the lodi title. A lodi check is a reality test: are you actually putting in the effort, delivering the results, and carrying yourself like the idol people have made you out to be? It can be a playful self-audit or a pointed community challenge. Failing a lodi check means your reputation just took a hit. Passing one means the admiration was earned.

(idiomatic, Internet slang) A loss, failure, or unfortunate event.
- lit check68%
A lit check is a quick assessment of whether something — a party, a playlist, a vibe, a situation — is actually as good as advertised or currently delivering the energy it promised. It's a practical audit of litness in real time. Used before committing to going somewhere ('run a lit check on that venue before we Uber over') or as a live report from the field ('lit check: this party is not it, leave now'). The '-check' suffix frames it as an official, shareable verdict rather than just an opinion, giving it social weight in group decision-making.
