To just not really get 'lol'?

[SenoritaViva]

Sorry but I don't. If I genuinely find you funny then I will laugh, without a cue.

Admittedly I got confused for months when I first thought it simply meant 'lots of love', I thought the world had gone all love liberal

Are there other meanings I simply haven't got?

Isn't it used to indicate you are making a joke of something so as not to offend anyone? Written words don't come with expressions so it's used in a similar way to a grin on here. Of course, some people don't know how to use it correctly so be mad at them.

I like lol

it usually means you are joking

its easy to type

lol

at updated twit status

I agree about lol at the end of horrible postings. It's the equivalent of ' I a, not racist but.... " or " not being funny but...." followed by some vile shit.

yes especially when pshissed lol

Hate 'arf' and also hate 'tee hee' don't know why. Quite like 'ha ha ha'.

I always think that the poster is lolling. Can't get my head around it at all.

It also seems to be used on MN to show that the poster really, really doesn't care at what the nest of vipers is saying.

You think I care about what you bitches think. Lol.
I have better things to worry about. Lol.

The slightly manic hahaha gets used in the same way.

Listen you nest of vipers, headed up by Kungfupannda, I don't care. LOLUAM (laughing uproariously and manically).

My fb also consists of loads of lol and bless. Grrr

I like arf.

Arf

I've started to use 'hah!' instead - also worried about over-use of !!! though!

What with DS, DD, DC, DH, DP, MIL, PIL, exP, exH, BLW, FF, BF, DTs, DSC etc... I'd say 'LOL' is the least of my worries, at least I know what it bloody means

Lol

I think I might start using hahahaha, as it adds a maniacal air and is fun to type

i used to use hahahaha all the time, then reckoned it made me sound like a loony lol

Mwahahaha is better
