YABU

I hate the phrase "feel stabby"!

KatOD · 13/05/2012 05:15

Nope. Hate it. Completely overused, though it is funny when people think it stands for "lots of love" and use it Inappropriately...

kittyandthefontanelles · 13/05/2012 06:34

EllenParsons- me too. People should think up their own expressions. I hate anything that's just rolled out ad nauseam. Baaa

DollysDrawers · 13/05/2012 06:47

can't abide any of them. lol, lmfao etc. I'm afraid ,'makes me stabby' is now also on my very long list! Smile

takingiteasy · 13/05/2012 07:39

Yanbu!

It really irritates me when I get a perfectly serious text from Shiney Dave and he puts lol at the end.

spg1983 · 13/05/2012 08:02

The one that I hate is pmsl. I know someone who uses it a lot, literally everything she writes that could be vaguely funny ends in pmsl, and especially when she's taking the p*ss out of someone...that kind of backfires for me cos all I can picture is her saying her nasty comment, laughing, and then ending up standing in a yellow puddle!

Sparklingbrook · 13/05/2012 08:13

DS1 (12) says 'LOL" instead of actually laughing. Angry

AutumnSummers · 13/05/2012 08:14

What Ellen said.

lol

rainydaysarebad · 13/05/2012 08:16

David Cameron uses it - nuff said

MarquiseOfMelburnia · 13/05/2012 08:16

If what you write is funny enough for someone to 'get' the joke then you shouldn't need to write lol at the end of it.

redyam · 13/05/2012 08:18

Lololololololololololilololol

CrumpettyTree · 13/05/2012 08:18

"Feel a bit stabby" is a lot worse than LOL

ripsishere · 13/05/2012 08:23

I hate LOL, my 11 YO DD has started to say it. That and ROFL.
She thinks it is hysterically funny Hmm

CaptainKirk · 13/05/2012 10:06

Do you mean "laugh out loud" or as Mr. Cameron thinks "lots of love"?

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 13/05/2012 10:07

I also picture that, spg... a stinky, yellow puddle... Shock

mercibucket · 13/05/2012 10:18

It might help your case if ypu tweet about blowing up airports, lol, though - otherwise the judge might think you were being serious

Ahhh the significance of emoticons and acronyms

Yanbu but where has 'stabby' come from these days?Confused That's annoying too.

ShellyBoobs · 13/05/2012 10:26

"Feel a bit stabby"?

What a fucking horrible turn of phrase!

YABVVU.

AutumnSummers · 13/05/2012 10:29

I do love a good backfire thread.

ShellyBoobs · 13/05/2012 10:31

...where has 'stabby' come from these days?

I magine it's a witty retort trivialising knife crime?

Hilarious.

bewitchedandbewildered · 13/05/2012 10:31

Cameron ended his texts and emails to Rebecca with LOL believing it to stand for Lots of Love.

I see using lol, lmfao etc on a par with using emoticons.

Thumbwitch · 13/05/2012 10:34

YANBU. I hate it when people use it to sign off every bloody statement they make, or use it utterly inappropriately - such as "Sorry to hear that hun, you'll be better off without him LOL" - and I'm quite sure that they don't mean lots of love at that point!

I also get quite angry when people say "O M G" out loud instead of Oh My God/Gosh.
