Lolfatto

Lolfatto is a colloquial expression used mainly by Italian speakers on internet forums, chat rooms, and gaming platforms. It is formed by combining the English internet slang “lol” (laugh out loud) with the Italian adjective “fatto,” meaning “done” or “finished.” The resulting word functions both as an interjection and as a verb, indicating that an action or task has been completed while also conveying amusement or light‑heartedness.

The term’s etymology dates back to the early 2010s, when Italian-speaking communities on gaming sites began to merge English and Italian slang to create compact, expressive phrases. The blend of “lol” and “fatto” captures a tone of both accomplishment and irony, making the phrase versatile for different contexts.

In practice, lolfatto appears most often as a response to a claim that something is already completed. For example, after a teammate in a multiplayer game announces a victory, another player might type “Lolfatto!” to confirm the win while adding a humorous flair. The phrase can also be used sarcastically, mocking a statement that something is finished when it clearly is not, thereby adding an element of playful ridicule.

Although lolfatto has not been formally documented in major Italian dictionaries, its usage is observable in niche memes, Twitch chats, and fan sites dedicated to video games such as League of Legends. The term’s presence in archived forum posts and social media timestamps from 2013 onward demonstrates its persistence within certain online subcultures.
