"roffle" means: To laugh uproariously; to be greatly amused.. This is informal slang, common in casual speech, texting and social media, but not appropriate for school work, applications or professional settings.

"roffle" means: To laugh uproariously; to be greatly amused.. Register: informal slang, fine in casual conversation, texting and social media but not in academic essays, business writing or formal speech. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

Internet acronym standing for Rolling On The Floor Laughing — a more emphatic cousin to the ubiquitous LOL. ROTFL (sometimes written ROFL) signals that something is so genuinely funny it has supposedly knocked you off your chair and onto the carpet. Born in early chatrooms and text messaging, it became a staple of late-90s and 2000s online communication. Though somewhat dated now that reaction GIFs and emojis dominate, it still surfaces in nostalgic or ironic contexts.
