Definition of Lvl

"Lvl" means "level." It is often used in gaming or online chat to show rank, status, or mood.

More Than a Gaming Term

• "What lvl are you?" (This could be used literally in a game, but it can also be a rhetorical question about someone's emotional state or life stage, like asking how they're handling a difficult situation.)
• "That's a whole new lvl of cringe." (Here, "lvl" is used to quantify the intensity of something, describing it as having reached a new, impressive, or absurd peak.)
• "I'm on a whole other lvl." (This is a way of saying you're in a league of your own, whether it's in terms of skills, style, or knowledge.)

An Academic Look at LVL

• Leaving out letters (like lvl, and also pct (percent) and obv (obviously)).
• Using letters from the start and end of the word (like adds (additionals and Dr (Doctor)).
• Using an apostrophe to replace a letter or letters (like don't (do not) and can't (cannot)).

In texting and online chat, contractions are rarely followed by periods/full stops and apostrophes are just completely forgotten about (unless you're chatting with an educated Boomer).
