Check it out guys, its the new 'in thing' to say instead of 'haha'
LOL, an abbreviation for laughing out loud,[1][2] or laugh out loud,[3] or sometimes lots of laughs,[citation needed] is a common element of Internet slang. It was used historically on Usenet but is now widespread in other forms of computer-mediated communication, and even face-to-face communication. It is one of many initialisms for expressing bodily reactions, in particular laughter, as text, including initialisms for more emphatic expressions of laughter such as LMAO[4] ("laughing my arse/ass off"), ROTFL[5][6][7][8] ("roll(ing) on the floor laughing") or ROFL[9] ("roll(ing) on [the] floor laughing"), and BWL ("bursting with laughter", above which there is "no greater compliment" according to technology columnist Larry Magid)[10]. Other unrelated expansions include the now mostly historical "lots of luck" or "lots of love" used in letter-writing.[11]

ReplyDeletei actually use haha more often now compared to lol, thats crazy
ReplyDelete"lol" is annoying as fuck to me. always has been.
ReplyDeletelol this is old. Reminds me of 1999 ok gtg
ReplyDeleteActually, my friends and I have been using haha instead of lol more recently because it came up at a party we were all at. Someone brought up the topic of why we use lol when clearly we aren't laughing out loud, and if we find it funny, why don't we just say haha instead? It conveys the same message without misusing the acronym and is generally less irritating.
