Meaning
What does GachiPLS mean?
GachiPLS is yet another Gachi emote, depicting adult entertainment actor and popular meme personality Billy Herrington.
Here the said guy is performing some sort of intense movement with his arm flung up… it kind of reminds me of a messed up RKO, or a heavy uppercut, while kneeling. I don’t rightly know; I’d mostly associate the movement with intense masturbation.
The emote is used to declare someone dead or otherwise for some sort of event that is unbelievably unfortunate.
