my mum puts LOL on her text messages to me.....she thinks it means Lots of Love

I am sometimes very indecisive, and have winkled at someone in a misguided attempt to wink and smile at the same time.

Likewise grinle.

i pissed myself laughing once whilst sitting on a bean bag...bit like a cat litter tray, it just got absorbed

LOL

maidamess · 10/07/2008 08:05

Swede. You really made me laugh with your post. I chuckled to myself, which faded into a happy smile.

Is that alright?

TrinityRhino · 10/07/2008 08:09

I invented roffle

there is a whole thread about it

Swedes · 10/07/2008 11:54

Maidamess - I feel honoured, thank you.

Swedes · 10/07/2008 11:57

Trinity - Roffle is lovely.

I wish there was a mumsnet-recognised acronym for laughing up my sleeve. Xenia's posts always make me LUMS.

hayley2u · 10/07/2008 12:01

whats the problem its abbre better than keep saying ha ha ha

MrsTicklemouse · 10/07/2008 12:08

I hate it! I have a friend whos been nicknamed Lol she uses it so much! it makes me shudder!

Heifer · 10/07/2008 12:43

I doubt if I have ever used LOL in any of your threads Mamag as they are soo very boring and have never ever ever made me larf or even smirk in the slightest...[need a lier emotion here]

Maybe I should start using YOL (Yawned out Loud)...

PS - thanks for the cake by the way, still waiting for the real thing....

Oblomov · 10/07/2008 13:01

I wish there was another acronym for ... like a mild snigger. Something that makes you ... acknowledge that it is funny without necessarily rolling around the floor.

I just thought you were being sarky when you said hehe!

Swedes · 10/07/2008 13:30

@ lol I got that top lol. Mama perhaps there is a disease whereby the poster feels compelled to start and finish a post with a pallindrome Mama.

anotherdayyetanothernickname · 10/07/2008 14:03

We could have a whole scale from:

mmsm - made me snigger mildly

through to...

gttl - grab the Tena lady

anotherdayyetanothernickname · 10/07/2008 14:04

oh and might I add I hate hth - as invariably it doesn't.

bearmama · 10/07/2008 14:09
