Talk:lolesque

RFV discussion: January–February 2019
Definition:
 * 1) Something worthy of being LOL'ed over, or laughing out loud over.

Nothing like that on Google Books or Google Groups as far as I can tell, though there does seem to be some kind of French term, and a hit or two for something along the lines of "like or characteristic of Lola" Chuck Entz (talk) 06:36, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
 * If it does exist, then it's an adjective, not a noun. SemperBlotto (talk) 06:52, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
 * If it exists, possibly as a nonce word, it may have been formed using the noun as a model.  --Lambiam 08:26, 4 January 2019 (UTC)


 * The kind of people who know about traditional forms of comedy like burlesque don't strike me as a particularly strong overlap with the people who bash out "lol" in a chat room... Equinox ◑ 09:12, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Someone may know the term in the metaphorical sense of “laughable travesty”, as used here in “this propaganda burlesque”, without being particularly cognizant of its comedic origins. Also, just a single individual can come up with such a neologism; the overlap does not have to be strong. --Lambiam 10:27, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
