Does anyone actually lol (laugh out loud) when they say it. I sure don't though I might think something is funny.

I say lol quite a bit. Sometimes I don't even laugh at something, but I know it's supposed to be funny, so I just type it anyways.

Lol, for the above though by the way.
^^

Another amusing thing, I often replace a real-life laughter with saying lol. I could just as easily laugh, but the habit of typing lol, means that I say lol instead. Occasionally repeatedly if it was really funny.

I have some friends who use all manner of chatspeak in normal life. I can abide by the occassional 'lol', but when people start using 'rofl' and 'lmao'it just gets in the way of intelligent conversation. Not that we ever really have any.

Laughed for real at that last bit, lulz~

I say lol, lul and lulz a lot. Occasionally an 'omg' (actually pronounced omg, not o m g) or a zomg. Rofl is too clumsy to pronounce properly~

I go 'nya', 'mew', 'meow' and 'miw' a LOT, though.

Just the occasional...lol or lulz. Or I just guffaw my head off. Swearing helps alot...Just kidding!

But I can never get the hang of spitting out 'rofl' the moment I see something that actually amuses me. My friends usually laugh at me when I try to pronounce it properly.

In my work environment, verbal precision is extremely important, so I try to keep my language as free of chat speak as is humanly possible.

You think 'rofl' is difficult to pronounce, try 'lmao'. You just sound retarded.

I go 'nya', 'mew', 'meow' and 'miw' a LOT, though.


Fair enough.lol.

No offense Zophia, but that is very strange in my opinion.

Rofl is easy: roffle. As in LAMAYONAISE and ROFFLECOPTER. But I'm showing my grey hairs, knowing those variations...

Also, saying "miw" etc. is more to do with being furry that simple chat-speak >_>

The Oxford dictionary is, if I have my sources correct, now citing an increasing number of internet terms as entries. I'm not surprised that a growing number of people are using "lol" in their everyday language.

I mean I do it too. Mainly to poke fun. I would only say "lol", though, at something that fails to make me laugh, otherwise I'd just laugh. It's a reflex, you know?

Thing of the past. Now it's Urban dictionary. Your grey hairs aren't showing Stroppy...They're dropping...

Love to actually see a doctor say that. They seem so austere and like the no-jokes type.

Lulz.

Somehow Zega...that sentence really doesn't match your reputation...*ahem*

'Big lipped ALLIGATOR moment!'
'Banana King!'
'Naked mole not a PINK Thing!'

Any of that sound familiar? You don't say lol. You just you a much longer phrase.
