Lol@Souffs (also known as
lol@50uffs and lol@50uff$ and LOL@$ouff$) is a common element of Internet
slang, which is gaining popularity in rugby league forum circles online in
Australia and other countries. The term is generally used for amusement by laughing at the South Sydney Rabbitohs NRL team. The phrase is said to have originated as Lol@souffs at the hands of somebody using the moniker "
Melon", with 'Souths' being contracted to 'Souffs' to reflect the severe lack of success the South Sydney club has endured in recent
history and also to reflect the
slack pronunciation of the word "souths" by certain demographics of their supporter base. The constant floggings and lack of final appearances has made the Rabbitohs the quintessential "Joke Of The League". Fans constantly point out the lack of
teeth of South Sydney Rabbitohs supporters. Later, it was changed to lol@50uffs, with the 50 being indicative of the fact that the Rabbitohs regularly get 50 points scored against them. In recent seasons, a dollar sign has replaced by the first and final "s" (LOL@$ouff$) to symbolise the millions Russell Crowe is spending on the club, despite saying "Chequebook league isn't my style". In spite of almost consistent
failure, Souffs supporters will routinely jump on league forums during the pre-season and proclaim that "this is our year". The only appropriate answer to this is to LOL@Souffs
Typical Souffs supporter: "We're the pride of the league, have the best forward
pack and now we've signed Greg Inglis. We're premiership certainties".
