ウケる
의미: An exclamation meaning 'that's hilarious' or 'LOL,' used to react to something genuinely funny.
ウケる literally means 'to receive' (受ける) but in slang it means something 'lands well' comedically — i.e., it gets a laugh. It functions as the spoken/texted equivalent of LOL or 'I'm dying.' Women and younger speakers use it especially often. The past tense ウケた and the super-emphatic 超ウケる are equally common.
