Laughs Under Lucricities, also referred to as Laughs Under Lucrativeness and Laughs Under Lucridicites, is a backronym that Chris coined for the ubiquitous internet slang "lulz." Broadly, Laughs Under Lucricities refers to any humor generated at Chris's expense and therefore completely reprehensible as far as the latter is concerned.
The term is a prime example of just how tenuous a grasp Chris has over the English language, given that even if "lucricities" were a word, the phrase would still make little sense in isolation.[1][2] Perhaps Chris was going for some variation on "lucrative", but trolls don't actually make money on their schemes, unless they're lucky enough to get Cosimo di Medici to sponsor them. Nonetheless, given the context in which it was used (see above quote) and Chris's considerable history of suffering at the hands of the internet, the meaning of this garbled CWC-ism rings surprisingly clear.
A related term is "lucrid", a word Chris has used variously,[3] despite that fact that it is nowhere to be found in any formal dictionary. It is seemingly a combination of "lurid" and "ludicrous" but falls short of being a portmanteau and is more like the result of a head-on collision of the English language. Its application suggests that Chris mistakenly uses it in place of the word "lewd," or more likely "lurid," or similar term of contempt.
