I can just about tolerate "lol", I've used it occasionally

But what the fuck is "loooooooooool" all about?

Do you really laugh out out out out out out out out out loud??

(I know I know...first world problems, petty etc, I might start hash-tagging in a minute)

Hmmmm...sorry about thread title, that's supposed to be in quotation marks.

I have a friend who writes 'lolololololololol' it's very annoying. What happened to good, old fashioned 'haha' or 'that's so funny'?

I must admit I do like ROFL though Blush

Kewcumber · 07/10/2013 11:48

I like ROFLMFAO even better.

ScarletLady02 · 07/10/2013 11:48

I don't mind proper acronyms...I'm partial to the odd PMSL...

But my inner pedant feels the rage when I see loooooooool....I've seen lololololololol as well actually, that annoys me too.

ROFLMFAO is a good one Grin

I had a rather highbrow discussion about PMSL recently, my friend insists on writing PML because 'myself' is all one word. It just looks wrong though.

ScarletLady02 · 07/10/2013 11:59

That's a good point actually...I've just outed my self (sic) as a hypocrite Blush

I don't get why people write, for example, kkkkkkkkkkiss, when they probably mean kiiiiiiiiiiiiss.

SaskiaRembrandtVampireHunter · 07/10/2013 13:58

YANBU. Most definitely not. looool said aloud sounds like the sort of noise someone very drunk would make if they were simultaneously laughing and vomiting.

vtechjazz · 07/10/2013 14:04

This: Mmmmmwwwah!... pisses me off, put 'x'. Or don't attempt to kiss me at all via text!

FracturedViewOfLife · 07/10/2013 14:09

ROFLCOPTER

ScarletLady02 · 07/10/2013 14:18

Don't even get me started on "Gawjus!!!"

What does rolfcopter mean? I get the rofl bit, and I know what a copter is, but combined, what is that?

SaggyIsHavingAPinkKitten · 07/10/2013 15:31

WTF does ROFLCOPTER mean???

KillerKoalaFace · 07/10/2013 15:35

I don't like any acronyms that describe laughter levels because the only accurate one is SALTS (smiled a little then stopped).

But I have to say when I read ROFL it makes me think of Scooby Doo. Rofl seems like a sound he'd make...

Dahlen · 07/10/2013 15:37

LOLOL always makes me picture zombies for some reason. Confused

I think I am going to start using SALTS to see if anyone texts back WTF or if it catches on. Grin

KatoPotato · 07/10/2013 15:37

OMG, I never thought anyone else on MN would know ROFLCOPTER...

KillerKoalaFace · 07/10/2013 15:39

I'll join you Dahlen. We might start a craze! SALTS!

Sindarella · 07/10/2013 15:57

My DC have started saying lol instead of laughing. How lazy!
It really gets on my nerves.

KellyElly · 07/10/2013 16:13

They are doing a big lol rather than a small one Grin

I think I prefer LOLOCERAPTOR over ROFLCOPTER. Although bother are good.

ILiveInAPineappleCoveredInSnow · 07/10/2013 17:04

My favourite is LSHABOWCO

laughed so hard a bit of wee came out

But I'm blaming my advanced state of pregnancy for that Grin

SaskiaRembrandtVampireHunter · 07/10/2013 17:33

Thank you Fractured :)

I used to have to communicate (a client, so couldn't ignore) with someone who alternated between lower and upper case letters:

sO HiS EmAiLs LoOkEd LiKe ThIs. He also referred to me as dame. No, neither of us is an American from the 1930s Grin
