Chatting away on Msn or similar ....Up pops a friend ( i did say use your imagination i know i have none so come on its not that hard to think ) Them :hi how you doing and what you up to .... Me: Hi there nothing much just cleaning my C.O.K incident from my last conversation .. Blocked and deleted i bet lol <<<<<<<<< see i use it and yes i do sometimes actually mean it but it is becoming a filler as suggested but also when a joke is made that may not be obvious to the recipient .. | |

| Use of LOL - Ever mean it? Posted: 7/22/2008 10:54:13 AM | I am Ok with lol. Do not mind it.
But I for example do not like someone sending me kisses and hugs, calling me babe or honey or talking to me in a vulgar language. It sounds much cheaper than a simple lol. | |

| Use of LOL - Ever mean it? Posted: 7/22/2008 5:08:59 PM | Ironically, very occasionally someone will be throwing 'lol's willy nilly, and mistype a 'lool' which makes them come across as a bit retarded, so lool actually does cause me to laugh out loud. ROFLMFAO usually means they are on a giddy stoner, as sometimes they open the conversation with it. | |

| Use of LOL - Ever mean it? Posted: 7/23/2008 1:07:41 PM | Salidan thinks that the use of "lol" is purely for the senile , lazy , stupid and the un-charismatic amongst us . Especially the untermention whose reply solely consists of "lol" ,wankers all of them . Salidan uses another local forum where "lol" is used infrequently and is immediately set upon by other users not wanting the forum to become the domain of idiots using text speech . Salidan has also noticed with distaste the frequent use of smileys which in hand in hand with"lol" make Salidan go out and cleanse the streets . Text speech should be kept for the phone ! Smileys should be taken of the board .If people want to use these stupid things Salidan thinks they should go elsewhere like face-book or bebo . | |
|
| Use of LOL - Ever mean it? Posted: 7/23/2008 1:46:54 PM | Salidan is anagram of Anal Sid, maybe Sid needs to relax a little, sphincter muscles were not designed for speech.
So, its overused, stop the world! How about, "You said something rather amusing, I must indicate this to you somehow" lol, though an inaccurate acronym, has become the accepted form of amused response. Or shall we rewrite the internet rules because of imagined elitism? | |
|
| Use of LOL - Ever mean it? Posted: 7/23/2008 1:52:46 PM | | haha! The first time I ever came across LOL I got annoyed with the person who used it in a message to me. Thought they were shortening my name!!!! LOL !! Oh well, will add it to my list of senior moments :laugh( Lorraine ) | |
|
| Use of LOL - Ever mean it? Posted: 7/23/2008 3:31:59 PM | I think it is much too much overused. In fact, I find that it is used when someone is nervous.. or do not know what to say.
Needless to say, I do not use it. Perhaps, I am just a miserable sod! (Now, now, please do not all agree with me at once!) | |
|
| Use of LOL - Ever mean it? Posted: 7/25/2008 7:34:31 PM | | Yes it is much overused and for various reasons I would imagine. I use it occasionally to emphasise or highlight the fact I've made a witty remark or funny comment as Its often overlooked or not spotted by the recipient. Now some would say thats a good indication that I'm neither funny or witty . Whereas I think the opposite and they are thick as pig sh*t and lacking a sense of humour. lol.... | |

| Use of LOL - Ever mean it? Posted: 8/3/2008 5:27:15 PM | Now that a prison cell has a vacancy, will the members of both houses push through a law that makes the use of lol more then twice in a ten minute conversation punishable by eight years in prison?
LOL? Leaning over lunanacy?
Stop it! It is just wrong! | |
|
| Use of LOL - Ever mean it? Posted: 8/3/2008 6:12:03 PM | I hate PMSL - besides it being yukky and messy - it should be PML as ''myself'' is one word, what is the point of that extra keystroke? Grrrrr
Another thing I hate is ''kewl'' - Grrr
Yes I use lol, but if I'm really really laughing out loud - I spell it out properly, but then I'm a fast typist. | |
|
| Use of LOL - Ever mean it? Posted: 8/3/2008 7:11:06 PM | "what I really mean, is "Look your boring me now, this conversation has reached its terminal point!""
I actually say "lol" in real life, in that exact context.
It's a supprisingly effective way to get people to shut up. | |

| Use of LOL - Ever mean it? Posted: 8/5/2008 4:33:56 AM | | Salidan ! why are you refering to yourself as a third party? How bizarre. I use lol, fpmsl, lmfao etc etc all the time, get over it and move on.......lololololol | |

Use of LOL - Ever mean it?
Yes, pretty much all the time, lots of things make me laugh. | |
|
| Use of LOL - Ever mean it? Posted: 8/5/2008 9:55:53 AM | Yes I do, cos the people I choose to converse with on the internet are normally quick witted, amusing and some of em downright puddled! The fact that I do sit here and laugh out loud means that the reason I have the internet, mainly for entertainment, is worth the price that I shell out every month, and no-one has complained to me about overuse of emoticons or abbreviations, cos, I try not to talk to miserable Tw@ts- | |
