I have seen some people, including experts or even I think some of the core devs, refeer to Bitcoin's OP_LOCKTIMEVERIFY feature as OP_HODL. Does OP_HODL actually work within the code and does the same thing, does a different thing, or they are talking about OP_LOCKTIMEVERIFY in a funny way? I was just confused to see devs using OP_HODL.

Should be pretty obvious because of the "hodl" instead of 'hold'. Read more on reddit. I'm pretty sure that it is just a "funnier" way of saying it. Although it would be easier to explain it even with the name OP_HODL than OP_LOCKTIMEVERIFY. They're the same; hopefully your questions have been answered.
