    When people type or text “lol” do they actually laugh out loud? It’s overused in my opinion.

    Since people don’t actually talk to each other anymore laughing isn’t real anymore either.

    That’s deeper than any response I expected. Wow.

    Funny thread. A buddy of mine and I used to joke about that, how in reality most people probably glance at their phone with zero expression but type LOL anyway. So he and I used to respond with “LLOL” for “literally laughing out loud” to signify that we actually did laugh.

    I don’t think grown ups should be allowed to use abbrevs and emoji’s.

    If we eliminated emoji’s from this site 90% of @nhamm’s posts would go away. That can’t be a bad thing, can it?

    To me it means something is funny. Less to type than, “that was funny”.

    In many instances I think “LOL” could easily be replaced with “smirked and quickly blew a shot of air out one’s nose”, since that’s probably what most people do anyway rather than actually laughing.

    Since sarcasm isn’t available as a font I think a lot of people use l “LOL” to ease the seriousness of something they’ve said.

    I’m like barely a millennial, literally. Lol

    But I have some guys at work that are in their 20’s and text me abbreviations that I have no clue what they mean.

    So I’ll text them back something like “ITIJPMPAL”

    They reply with “?”

    I reply, it means “I think I just pooped my pants a little” jester

    Didn’t we just have a thread not that long ago about BK’s abbreviation in text. My mom thought LOL meant “Lots Of Love” and I could not figure out why she was laughing so much.

    LOL IDO

    I have actually never typed “laughing out loud” in abbreviated form. It’s like I’ve made it so long, that if I did it now, the world will end…..

    Never used it, never will. I hate the stupid acronym $h!t that is used except for FUBAR and SNAFU.

    I think the sensible thing to do is to stop using acronyms all in all, unless they are actually accurate!

    What about emojis? Is it logical to pick one that matches your facial expression?

    Not to be picky, but is that butthurt or hemorrhoids?
