When someone is pretending to be something they’re not. Can involve lying on social media/internet or lying in real life. Often used in a derogatory sense.
Derived from the original meaning of LARP, Live Action Role Play. When you say that someone is larping and you’re not talking about the literal game, you are saying that they are role-playing in their actual real life. Pretending to be rich, pretending to know about a topic, pretending to have a certain lifestyle, etc.

Get the Larping mug.Traditionally, LARPing is when a bunch of nerds get together in a field or pasture and beat each other up with foam core swords. In the internet sense, it refers to people who put on a façade and lie about having lives that are far more interesting than they really are.

Get the Boog Larper mug.Larping (or LARPing) is short for "Live Action Role-Playing". A live action role-playing game is a form of role-playing game where the participants physically act out their characters' actions. The players pursue their characters' goals within a fictional setting represented by the real world, while interacting with one another in character. The outcome of player actions may be mediated by game rules, or determined by consensus between players.
The first LARPs were run in the late 1970s, inspired by role-playing games and genre fiction. The activity gained international popularity during the 1980s, and has diversified into wide variety of styles. Play may be very game-like, or may be more concerned with dramatic or artistic expression. The fictional genres used vary greatly, from realistic modern or historical settings to fantastic or futuristic eras. Production values are sometimes minimal, but can involve elaborate venues and costumes. LARPs range in size from small private events lasting a few hours to huge public events with thousands of players lasting for several days.

Get the Larping mug.A "Larper" is a person that does something that is way out of their capability but genuinely thinks they can do it even though it's obvious they're no-where near doing so.

Get the Larper mug.People, usually weebs, who pretend to learn a language but don't actually learn anything, they just like to play pretend. People who Language LARP focus on things that they don't need to know, just because they think it's cool, then they get upset and cry when they have no clue what is going on, and stop learning the language altogether, only to say to people "I used to be fluent in (insert language), but I forgot!"

Get the Language LARPing mug.A side effect of the Burn In drink. It increases serotonin and endorphins to the point where the user will grin uncontrollably, yet they will feel no pain, on account of the serotonin and endorphins. It starts from a regular smile, to one from ear-to-ear, which then wraps around the user's face, tearing their face muscles.
This does not occur if Burn In was used in moderation.
