What my lol's REALLY mean
over the years, i came to realize that 99% of the time when i write "lol" i am deifinetly not laughing. Here's what my lol's REALLY mean :
!. lol
this serves as a filler, a conversation mover, a "nothing else to say" comment. when i say lol i barely crack a smile. i just know the other person meant to be funny so i am therefore obligated to say lol . of course there are exceptions but ya know.
although when i say lol and then a comment i usually DO think its funny but too lazy to write LOLL cuz i wanna say something
2. loll (only 2 l's)
i smile, actually got the joke this time, acknowledge that something semi-funny was said
3. lollll (3 or more l's)
this time actually chuckling and smiling for real
4. LOL
laughing
5.LMTO!!!!!! / LOLLL!!!!!!!!
kinda speaks for itself :-)
