Hi!

Is LOL "lots of love" or "laugh out loud"?

And what does "IMAO" mean? Please.

Thank you.

@mark noble,

i think of LOL as laughing out loud

i think you mean LMAO, which means laughing my ass off (ROFLMAO means rolls (or rolling) on floor laughing my ass off)

IMHO means in my humble opinion

Hi Dj!

Thank you! So 'Have a nice day, but act gracefully' is 'Handbag'?

I associate the usage of LOL as a sign of immaturity. It's something my nieces used to ad nauseum when they were young. To make it worse, they would use the abbreviated expression and then follow it with a half a dozen emoticons to really get the point across. I know we sometimes want (or need) to express emotion in our computer communication, but to me LOL is the equivalent of a laugh track applied to a bad TV comedy. I think grown-ups should avoid it.

And instead say what in a text? ("I found that to be humorous"? "That caused me to chuckle a bit"?) lol.

@Ticomaya,

I was fine when the infamous A2K GustavRatzehoffer, who would never use LOL or a happy face, would just say: ha! or "funny stuff", or "thanks for the laugh". I think LOL has been overused to the point of pointless. Maybe in 20 years in will cool again- like the word "groovy".

Like "not"... The late 1990s called. They want their LOL back.

@Green Witch,

Hi Green witch!

I'm with you on this. But they are unavoidable. And if you tell people what you don't like - They WILL get a kick out of flinging more of it in your direction.

Always use reverse-psychology if you want to get shot of things you don't like: Like this.

I think all these abbreviations are vital to the current age in which we exist and look forward to seeing the entire global mindset focused on nothing less than originating a universal format that can be used by one and all - Even enforced, if necessary.

Abbs Rule OK!!!

I heard an MSNBC newscaster read LOL as Lots Of Laughs instead of Laugh Out Loud. I sure did LOL at her.

LOL?
