to be irritated by people who misuse LOL

[beanlet]

It means "laugh out loud", people. Not anything else.

its lmao that does my head it. really? it was THAT funny?

I love GLAD! and living off lager Never a big fan of the old txt spk anyway, but this one really gets on my tits.

whats roffle??

The inappropriate condolence text did make me lol, though.

ILOTI

I'm Laughing On The Inside

I did tell him, madamdeath not to ridicule him in any way, you understand, but because I didn't want him making the same mistake again

I'm a bit of a loller, I have to admit. I think it's probably because I'm quite cynical and caustic, so I use it to make sure anyone reading knows that I'm joking

I think for 'lol' read 'smiling gently'
for 'pmsl' read 'actually emitted a small titter
for 'ROFL' read 'actually burst out laughing
and for anyone that actually says 'lol' read 'I am an arsehole'

FWIW, HTH.

My dad uses it as lots of love as well. Must be an older male thing.

In the early days of such crap lol did used to means lots of love too

Oh I like roffle. To ROFL.

lol can mean either lots of love or laugh out loud

just as bf can be best friend or breast feeding or boyfriend

my bf bf was lol with her fil when bf lol - iykwim

My SIL thinks it means 'Lots of love'.

I dont get the 'Loooool' thing. What does that mean? Laugh out out out out etc loud?

Its stupid innit.

I like Rolf. I think of it as the actual noise made rather than standing for anything.

chegirl
I always post rolf instead of rofl by mistake.. and now have an image of a laughing Rolf harris , which is really weird

roffling somehow makes me think of someone sniggering to themself, whilst simultaneously wiping eyes and nose.

In other words, a bit messy.

Pag Looool and a rofling Rolf Harris

Ooh yuk a Roffling Rolf. Double the mess.

SIMA is genius- I shall use it forthwith. Perhaps also SAB? Smiling a bit?

I find myself using CAC alot at the moment.

CAC = Cleggs a c*nt.

I don't mind lol. It's a little pretend dhuckle. Nothing wrong with that

It does also mean lots of love. It should be fairly obvious from the context which meaning is intended.

What usage has been upsetting you beanlet.

And yes, YAprobablyBU btw.

I though it could mean either laugh out loud or lots of love

I like SIMA, might use it if feeling young and daring enough for text speak - even if it is Mumsnet text speak.

I tell you what though, text speak is fair enough, but trying to make head or tail of the TTC threads is a whole new ball game. Anyone else have that problem?

what does lolol mean? I've seen it on a few posts and always wondered...
