Take the L

"L" stands for Loss. Originally used to describe one's disposition of engaging in an activity that he/she does not particularly like.

A typical comment made by 12 year olds while arguing on mainstream Youtube music videos.

Oftentimes spammed or used at irrelevant situations.

-I totally flunked my math exam yesterday...
-Just take the L bro.
