Fuck that, LOL all the way.

 

[Meier]

First I've seen of it. I guess it might be used by kids which of course would make me feel very old.

 

[agrajag]

ROTFLLS

 

[WordAssassin]

You just don't fucking say it.

Yeah I know that but seeing as every word ever written has a phonetic equivalent I was curious as to what LOL's was. ROFL is pronounced "roffle" and LMAO is "L'mow" so what the hell is LOL? Even as I'm typing it I'm saying it in my head. When you read it you say it in your head. So what the fuck is it supposed to sound like?

Or when you read a sentence do you say in your head, "I saw a cat and it made me el-oh-el"?

 

[agrajag]

lls sounds like some sort of disease.

 

[ZeoVGM]

FFS.

EL OH EL

like in the post above me I read in my head "for fuck's sakes" not "fsssssssssssssssssssssssss"

 

[Rezbit]

I hate 'smh.' It makes me think of scat for some reason.

smh = smuh = smear = poo

SMH makes me think of the Sydney Morning Herald.

LOL will never die.

 

[WordAssassin]

Ok what the fuck does SMH mean

 

[I_D]

ROFL is pronounced "roffle" and LMAO is "L'mow" so what the hell is LOL?

Firstly... try using "LMFAO" which turns into "Lumfow." It's a bit funnier, IMO (pronounced "eemo").



As for "LOL," that pronounced "Lole (like "hole)."



And no, I don't say those words in real conversations. :lol

 

[FromTheFuture]

Ok what the fuck does SMH mean

smh

 

[hateradio]

I hate lol, it's the root of all evil.

 

[twilitesparklemotion]

Ok what the fuck does SMH mean

Quoted for great justice. I have no idea. I guess I could google it. Okay.

The winner is shake my head! :O

 

[RevDM]

lqtm = laughing quietly to myself

Uuuugh that's the way my friend says lol, I haate it. D: Why can't it be lawl? There's even a net version of that - lawl!!

As for IMO, I read it as eye-moh. Huh.

This is actually a pretty interesting topic, finding out how people read net-speak in their mind's voice.

 

[twilitesparklemotion]

lqtm = laughing quietly to myself

Fuck this.

 

[legend166]

everyone should which to la, which the gramatically correct version of lol.

[Trurl]

LHTCMLAHOJ!!!!!

Spoiler

Laughing harder than Carlos Mencia laughs at his own jokes

 

[btkadams]

[PrinceAdam]

[Shins]

I fear for the next generation

 

[Trevor360]

Ok what the fuck does SMH mean

so much hate

 

[legend166]

so much hate

i thought it was shaking my head

 

[btkadams]

i thought it was shaking my head

it is.

 

[Trurl]

i thought it was shaking my head

I thought it meant "shake my hand" and was meant to extend an offer of friendship.

"Great post.
smh"

 

[Zeliard]

I think it can be agreed that smh should gtfo.

 

[MadraptorMan]

I find "smh" to be rather useful, actually. I hope it's here to stay, naysayers be damned!

And just to be on topic, never heard of lls before, and I hope I never do again. In other words, smh @ lls.

 

[The Faceless Master]

wtf is lls?

smh...

 

[DoomGyver]

LOL

 

[Calcaneus]

What the fuck is this shit? lls?

What, the recession taking away our vowels?

 

[dogonfire]

el oh el, I knooow

 

[tak]

I never thought I would actually feel the need to defend the use of 'lol' in my life time.

That being said, 'lls' is super lame.

 

[DanteFox]

I prefer lawl

 

[mjfor40]

this is a pretty gay thread

 

[notsol337]

I'm more of an LOLOL fan myself...

 

[erlim]

I'm pretty sure LOL was created alongside the internet, for the internet, so I see no reason why it should be replaced.

 

[koam]

what's lol?

 

[twilitesparklemotion]

mjfor40, you might oughta change that.

 

[TehOh]

This is honestly the first time that I've ever heard lls. Who makes this shit up?

Simclis is where it's at.

 

[Rorschach]

Ugh... reminds me of this retarded commercial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxC7E2yKKJc

It's on all day. Every single day. ><

 

[Ad Infinitum]

lol is the Michael Jordan of the internet.

lol

 

[rollingstart]

I feel like an old man in my early 20s because I think some of the lingo kids use these days is just terrible.

 

[radioheadrule83]

Until this thread, I didn't realise that shit laughed

Now everytime I birth a brown log, I will look down and attempt to strike a humourously cordial rapport with my turd by laughing into the toilet bowl

 

[`Moe Joe.]

LLS looks fucking stupid. Furthermore, LOL is so popular because it is so expandable. Lawl, Lol, lol, Lool, Loool, Lolz, Lulz, LOLOL, lollerblading, etc. What can you get out of LLS?

Shit. That's pretty much it. May as well creat LLF and LLC while we're at it; they are cool swear words too.

 

[Ford Prefect]

YOr when you read a sentence do you say in your head, "I saw a cat and it made me el-oh-el"?

It's this, why would you say anything different?

And I think the OP made that lls shit up.

 

[xsarien]

epic lulz

 

[HolyCheck]

LA, Laugh Audibly.

Say goodbye to LOL, cut your laughing time by %33.33 recuring!
