LARP stands for Live Action Roleplay. Originally intended for use for Roleplaying games that are played outside with other people, pretending to be their characters.
Can be used as a metaphor for people pretending to be something they are not, especially online. Examples are Wehraboos, people obsessed with the Wehrmacht, or Crusade-memers.

Get the larping mug.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.LARPing basically stands for playing Life-Action-Role-Play.
It is a game usually played in the forest where you use weapons made out of foam and PVC.
In LARP you usually go back to the dark ages and you give yourself and others a role on the battle field.
That is in short what LARPing is and what it stands for.
