to feel a flash of irritation everytime I read a post that begins and ends with LOL ?

[MamaG]

I like lol. I've tried doing ha-ha-ha but it makes me sound like a cant.

I also like roffle and snigger - and snerk is quite good in response to something vulgar or bitchy.

I usen't to do it. I did it once but I felt moronic. I won't do it again. Promise.

Is "ha ha" ok? that feels less fake and jargonish to me.

i think ha ha is okay but one run sthe risk of sounding sarcarstic

it annoys me too

i think ha ha is okay but one run sthe risk of sounding sarcarstic

I personally favour

heh
roffle
lol in appropriate places
titter
snigger
snurk
snort
and the occasioanl giggling teehee

lol i love lolling about but cant be irritated by lol depending on who is doing it , i do use lol lol and by the way your title ended in lol so if it did yours would have been an offender lol lol lol and i probs wouldnt have opened it but i did so it cant have lol lol lol

I once tee hee'd. Never again.

ha ha sounds very pantomime tranny.

I love LOL. Some people on mumsnet really do make me laugh out loud which is lovely. I always try to convey it when it happens. LOL for me is my way of saying thank you so much for your wit/intelligence etc.

Titter is a bit Swallows and Amazons isn't it?

I can't stand PMSL. Horrible.

And LMAO is a bit Bingo Hall for me.

Crazy bitches, the lot of you, LOL!

LOL doesn't piss me off, but does. That really fecks me off, with it's stupid little sarcy face

i have never pissed myself laughing or rolled on the floor laughing so don't use them really lol

I often piss myself, but never by laughing

I think I like roffle because it sounds like a guffaw.
Not because I roll etc..

Do you think the Mumnsnet acronyms should be a bit more restrained?

RMREB - Raised my right eye brow
DMACOTFACOM - Delayed making a cup of tea for a couple of minutes

I think I prefer SLOTE - sceptical lift of the eyebrow.

I use lol if someone has genuinely made me laugh. Hate pmsl and tee hee.

SFLBTR Shifted from left buttock to right.

Ibpbiatimobubidyaayu - I'm being polite because I'm anxious that I might otherwise become unpopular but I despise you and all your kind.

Onebat - Punchy!

punchy is my middle name, Swedes, as you know.
