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

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.

[greenelizabeth]

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.

[onebatmother]

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

[shatteredmumsrus]

[maidamess]

I once tee hee'd. Never again.

[Swedes]

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.

[Swedes]

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

[Swedes]

I can't stand PMSL. Horrible.

[Swedes]

And LMAO is a bit Bingo Hall for me.

[lazarou]

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

[southeastastra]

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

[lazarou]

I often piss myself, but never by laughing

[onebatmother]

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

[Swedes]

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

[OrmIrian]

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

[Remotew]

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

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