why do people feel the need to put that everywhere?
It just fits everywhere.
p.s. Someone i know thought it stood for lots of love. lol:)
lolwut?
I don’t post it, but perhaps I should..in anticipation of “oz y’moleh s’chok finu..
halevi we should always have reason to LOL (despite my reluctance to use text-speak)
It’s like chuckling….
blinky- btw it can be used for both. In chat its generally used for Laugh Out Loud but also can be used for the other purpose…
At least I hope so because my wife signs off my birthday cards with it!!!
noitallmr- LOL
You never know why she signs it off like that- maybe you should double check and ask her…maybe not:)
noitallmr-
I think its only used for Lots of Love in England. Thats a very English expression
i never understood this abbreviation, and why it’s used SO often. Sorry blinky, i don’t think that it fits everywhere.
Lots of Love? i never heard of it, that’s interesting
Can it be used for “lots of luck”?
i know ppl. who do use it as lots of luck but most ppl. i know use it as laugh out loud
blinky- Ha lol your right better keep on the safe side!!!
whatrutalkingabt- you serious? I thought it was an international expression…that’s the problem with you Americans, you don’t know how to express your feelings nicely!!!
Better back off now while the tanks come down…
It stands for Large Ox Lips
noitallmr-
LOL
popa_bar_abba- does your wife sign off your cards with that???
LOL=Lots of Love!
People shouldn’t use it in the CR because most of the time it’s used as a rank out.
I often think LOL stands for “I have nothing to say but I feel like you are expecting a response and since LOL requires the smallest amount of time and effort by way of response, that is what I will say.”
Other times, I think it stands for “I know this is a really loaded conversation, especially for texting, so I am going to make a lame attempt at difusing the tension with a halfhearted LOL, despite the fact that you and I both know that nobody is laughing.”
Or sometimes it stands, simply, for “you thought you were funny there, didn’t you?”
I always use lol just so the other person knows I’m kidding. It’s kinda like a half smile. Cuz when you are texting you don’t know the emotion the other person is writing it with, so if you write lol they know don’t take my too seriously, I’m not upset…
Sister Bear- yup me too!!! lol
BOSD, I love it!!! That was perfect!
LOL is like a laugh track. It’s basically just permission to laugh.
Large ox lips?
