In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Lollerskates” is a rare card of the Memes World series 76, number 22513 of the collection, and the 13th best-known meme of its 298 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Lollerskates” meme mean?
“Lollerskates” is LOL with an extra flourish: imaginary roller skates to show you are laughing even harder than usual. People type it in forum comments, chats or GIF captions to underline an amused reaction, often with self-mockery. It evokes the internet of forums, handles and playful abbreviations, and still works as a nostalgic wink. It is harmless and affectionate, the kind of word people use among friends when a joke genuinely lands and they want to show it.
Where does the “Lollerskates” meme come from?
According to Know Your Meme, the original GIF was created on January 8, 2003 by Andrew S., based on the file’s metadata. He says he used a mouse-gesture program that typed out “:-D LOL :-D,” then edited the command to print “LOLLERSKATES.” One of the earliest known mentions appears in January 2003 on the Usenet group alt.fan.dragonball, and another in July 2003 on the Finnish site Kosto.org. Urban Dictionary entries began around the same time. On May 7, 2004, user Mynameisdan made the first YTMND, “LOLLERSKATES!!1.” The page adds that the origin of the word itself is unknown, even to the GIF’s creator. It later got a boost from the popularity of ROFLcopter in early 2004.
