In which I do not LOL
Lovely and Talented Wife: So I texted that thing to her and she texted back “LMAO.”
Me: She didn’t though.
Wife: LMAO?
Me: Yah, her ass is still on.
Wife: What…?
Me: People read something funny and then maybe they snort or chuckle or even chortle and then write LOL or LMAO. They rarely mean it. It’s sad really because it’s devalued the whole meaning of the word. That’s why I refuse to type it. Even if I was LOL I wouldn’t write LOL because no one would really believe I was LOL. LOL isn’t what it used to be.
Wife: Oh my God.
Me: What?
Wife: You’re still talking.
Maybe we need some new ones… like LUMB (under my breath), which is what I just did.
You could sell this post to a sitcom, it’s better than most of the shows out there. :)
LOL! truly! I adore the LATW.
CALB!
chuckled a little bit : )
The podcast Buzz Out Loud started LOI for Laughing on the Inside. :)
I totally get this one. I hate that people just do that randomly for everything. I type LOL, but only when I’ve actually done it.
You should goto http://www.textinghonesty.org and register a complaint.
As for myself, I reserve LOL for belly laughs. It’s gotta be funny.
How about MATA. Mildly Amused Tight Ass. I’m thinking it might catch on.
she is a brilliant woman. but i have to agree with you. i can’t abbreviate. Although I bet if people really could laugh their asses off gyms would be empty.
What toyfoto just said about gyms being empty if people really could laugh their asses off? I found that statement to be ironic, about a four on a scale of 1-10 for tickling my funny bone, and possibly factually correct. And just for the record I did laugh out loud, which might have been more to the point. But I am alone at this computer and not constrained in any way, so I do a lot of stuff out loud. ;)
perfect post.
