Noun[edit]
laughie
- (slang) An photographic humerous, image taken manually with a small camera or mobile phone
containing a short humerous caption which spreads, often as mimicry, from person to person via the Internet, typically using social media sites.
An original laughie is shared across the Internet using meta-data in the form
of a well formed absolute URI, allowing for a reduction of at least 50:1 in data payload size in comparison to transporting the image itself.
