I’m curious about “L” being a curse world in Cantonese. I looked it up but couldn’t find anything about this.

It's the word 撚 which means penis (lan2 which sounds more like "lun"). You can pretty much stick it between many words, much like "fucking" in English, to add emphasis.

I don't know for sure how accurate this is, but I'm guessing it's the first entry in this Wiktionary definition:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/L#Chinese
.

Can corroborate the previous replies; or taking the initials of the words like `sls` is common these days
