W / L

Teen slang, explained for parents.

What it means

"W" means win and "L" means loss, so "that was a W" means that was a win and "take the L" means accept defeat, and the shorthand is used constantly across social media and gaming because it is pure efficiency.

How to bring it up with your kid

No action needed. Completely normal slang.

Calm guidance for raising kids in a digital world.
