Poll: use of LOL and ROFLOL

[Susan Arendt]

Most of the time I "heehee" or "bwaaaa ha ha ha haaaaaa".

me too and you forgot mwahahaha

i've met people say say lol in real life instead of laughing, i feel like punching them

 

[Blackadder51]

I shamefully admit i do overuse it, *sighs*

 

[wewontdie11]

Yea it is overused. When I put lol I'm not so much laughing out loud as maybe giving a small chortle or giggle.

 

[Lowbreed]

I use lol often, usually I just giggle or chuckle to myself in front of the computer (gosh that's a sad picture)

I now even use it in real life, I can't help it, but there I usually say it if something weird happens, as opposed to funny.

 

[brainfreeze215]

Never. If something is said to me that makes me laugh, I will let the person responsible know about it, but I'm too old to use that sort of jargon. And by "too old" I mean "not a tween girl."

 

[Jumping_Over_Fences]

I have never used them and I will never use them. I refuse to even type them to make a point!

 

[Gerazzi]

WAFFLEMAO
is my new saying from now on.
Just to keep it original.

Spoiler: the crappy image... it beckons

P.S. I agree, overused, never use it. Sounds like someone going through a ridiculous valley girl phase.

Usually i'm letting out a small giggle or chuckle when I write it, it's nothing scary, get over it. It's just the letters L and O, it's not going to reach out of the screen and face rape you...

 

[Aerodynamic]

it gets annoying after a while

 

[BoxCutter]

I only use "lol" when i actually laugh at something and don't write to write out a long explanation.

Or say something "I laughed at you awesome joke"

 

[A random person]

I use lol and some other abbreviations ironically and humorously in real life (sometimes in response to someone using them seriously and annoyingly), but I don't end all my sentences with them. That just annoys me.

 

[megapenguinx]

LOL...erm sorry. It's overused in the wrong moments. I personally like using the word if only to lighten up a particularly dark post.
I also like to say it out loud in person in the place of a chuckle.

 

[About To Crash]

I have this little thing I like to use called sentence structure. It helps me avoid internet shorthand as much as possible.

 

[skcseth]

I only use in in FB chat or in texts. Anywhere else is unacceptable lol.

....oops.

Well, I just had to delete an entire post, because this one summed up what I had to say far better than I could.

 

[Brown Cap]

Its definately overused, but I don't care lol
