The 'overtyping' of the term 'lol'. 2009-07-15 19:39:45 Reply

I couldn't help but notice that when I am talking to my friends on MSN, or chatting to someone online on anything, they are CONSTANTLY, and when I say constantly - I'm not putting that into loose terms. But literally; they say it every 15 seconds.
Me: yo guy what up?
Friend: lol, not much you?
Me: nothin' much, nothin' much.
Friend: lol! coool
Like what the hell, I don't know what people find so funny about aye man what up. And sure it's okay to say it when theres nothing else to say, but saying every 4 seconds - now THAT just pisses me off 'cause you aren't really Laughing Out Loud.. at all. What are your thoughts about it?

I hate the term but I end up using it way to much, like people who raped the word awesome.

If something funny happens in a game on the PC, I often say LOL *WITTY SITUATION* LOL!


For my next trick, I will need a condom and a volunteer.

It doesn't get me angry - just really annoyed.
I mean think about it.. You are trying to have a good conversation with someone and every sentence they type, you see 'lol'

The term lol no longer means laugh out loud , it now refers to a small smile or a smirk.


I am very talented at the things people get arrested for.

I know I use it too much. When it annoys the person using it, you know it's bad.

The lol is the phrase someone uses when they can't say something good about something they have just witnessed

exactly. a filler phrase to post all over the place and get your post count up without actually having to read anything. and i just saved this picture because somebody made a topic about long cats, but it got deleted before i could post and it seems a shame to waste it. big ass cat.

I don't find it that bad. It's just a filler, sometimes it acts as the period. It's like the internet equivalent of the Canadian 'eh'.

I don't use it that often,because it is not correctly using the English language.

I hate it whenever i see it but, it is inevitable its a trend and people use it for various reasons. I use it myself. But, it's never going to go away, and when I say never I mean for a long time.

I like the Demetri Martin joke about lol. He never types it instead he types "ltmq" laughing to myself quitely. Its more honest! I've never once read anything that made me laugh out loud.

it doesn't have to be relevant. we can change the whole point of this topic to extravagant pets. my favorite would have to be the lion fish.

haha, i would be really brief and not very helpful with this post, but an armadillo with a jet pack and mini rockets is both creative and totally badass, so i'll help you out. you can talk pretty much wherever the topic takes you, so long as you don't start flipping out on somebody and posting stupid shit that isn't relevant to anything at all. for example, if someone came in here and posted the barney bunch will rise again. that's called spam. other than that, it's pretty much just like talking to your friends. not too much to worry about.
