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.
I sent him the meme and he just replied 'ROTFL, I can't breathe' — classic.
