Taking an L 

Taking any type of loss, such as in an argument or sports game. Also can be used when referring to drunk behavior or receiving a bad grade. Not to be confused with "W" which is used to describe a win.

" Maddie took a huge L last night when she drank an entire bottle of champagne"
"Olive was unprepared for the math test and she failed- what an L"
" 2016 has been one huge L"
" When the team lost, they were really Taking an L"

that's an L 

When someone does/says something so stupid.
Something that deserves an l.
When someone catches a loss/l.

Sarah: If satan and santa have the same letters, santa's satan, right?

Josh: (Shaking his head) Sarah, that's an L.

Somebody once told me the world was gonna roll me i aint the sharpest tool in the shed she was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape on an l on her forehead.

The first verse of the song "Smash Mouth" by "All Star"

"Somebody once told me the world was gonna roll me i aint the sharpest tool in the shed she was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape on an l on her forehead."
Bob: "WHAT IS THIS?"
Sharyl: "GOD'S SINGING VOICE"
Bob: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" *eyes melt out of head*
