What's "LoL! :)" supposed to mean?

Man, Muriel must have posts still coming up from the early 2000s. It means Lots of Love! Or die in a grease fire.

RACI$T LE$BIAN TROLL ALERT!

don't listen to r1! It means Little old Ladies.

R1, you didn't read beyond the thread title, did you? Fool.

I was only being pointless OP! Calm yo titties.

[quote] I see it all the time on here

No, you don't.

Serious answer: the “lol!” reply to a “lol!” is designed to throw shade on the original “lol!”er for using such an infantile interjection. It’s even more deliciously snarky when the original “lol!”er has no idea they’re being ridiculed.

I thought it meant "Laugh Out Loud"!! It's not???

Do you know what "STFU" means, OP?

Oh, all right then, R6. Silly twat.

Yes, that's about what I thought, R8, though I depart from you as to whether or not it's amusing.

I meant to agree in part with R7, not R8.

It means Lots of Lard and it came about cuz of yo mama.

Is that so? Mother's no sylph, it's true.

Only on the Datalounge, kids. Only on the Datalounge.

It means Lativa over Lakisha

It's mocking idiotic people who type "lol." Generally, people over the age of 12 don't use "lol."

Generally, they do. You are probably one of those rickety ild things who is offended by "no problem".

OLD!

LOLLLLLLL

[quote] Where posters are older than Cindy Adams. And dirt.

And think one person posts Mrs. Patsy Ramsey, or "I was molested."

R20, I would never claim that only one person is responsible for the Mrs. Patsy Ramsey or Lorna Luft posts. Those have been adopted by many users as they are often amusing. "LoL! :)" is witless.

On the Days of our Lives threads (DOOL) it’s become a thing over the years to write “LOOL!” instead of “lol”.

Is lolz okay, though?

An LOL! :) response to an original LOL post is essentially an "OK Boomer" response to the antiquated use of LOL.

All the cool kids just use emoji's now, and have been for years.

Typing LOL defines you as an oldster with limited tech skills.

We don’t use emojis on DL!

“An” LOL! :)

It's about the same level of wit, R26 (i.e. low). Another poster said recently that some DLers only use the unfunnier recurring jokes as a way of "staying in the game" but some of these running jokes need to be taken off life support. Let me repeat that I am NOT coming for your Lorna Luft and Patsy Ramsey posts.

I thought it meant something said was funny. I use it when I think something someone said is funny. How has this become offensive?

Seriously, R28, read my post and not just my thread title. This is about a very particular way of [italic]writing[/italic] LOL/lol, which is capital L, lower-case o, capital L, exclamation mark, smiley face. This way of writing it is often posted as a response to someone who has written LOL or lol.

Any lol derivation or emojis are used by deliciously snarky frauen.

I am yet to behold this

Lick Only Lesbians

I use lol judiciously. I am comfortable with my usage and since I am Gen X , I am fine if it reveals that im old, out of touch, whatever.

AFAIK in the US and in the UK they don’t awys sp out words like cdc or fda or gop or ncaa they often instead do lol.

It’s a guess anyway

TIA

Ok R29 thank you.

Sometimes a colon and an opening parenthesis are just a colon and an opening parenthesis.

I use lol in only one instance- when something someone else posted made me laugh.

I NEVER use it when referring to what I write.

And I ain't gonna stop that.

Stop that!

LIZA over LORNA

What about "haha"? That's what us old folks use.

r40, some used to say 'Hahaha! I'll say!'

J. Lo is short for Jennifer Lopez.

We've had a lot of prisspot threads lately with people whining about the way someone else makes a post.

Not the content of the post, but how they post it, the wording.....I mean, really.

Talk about nellie prisspottery......

[quote]Talk about nellie prisspottery......

I always spelled "nelly" with a Y, unless it's a woman's name.

[quote]nellie prisspottery

Where could one acquire this pottery?

R43, I take it that you're talking about the poster/s who use/s "LoL! :)". Because they only ever do so as a response to others' use of LOL. That's the point of this thread. I'm glad that you agree with me.

Means ur old. Gen Z uses Jbol (just burst out laughing) now.

Does Gen Z also use "ur" for "your"?

[quote] J. Lo is short for Jennifer Lopez.

JLoL! :)

Lolz

I did it for the lolz, R50! :)

El oh ells.

R48, u’re

It actually means Lesbians of Laurasia, and it refers to women attracted to other women who lived on the ancient continent of Laurasia approximately 250 million years ago.

LoL!

I will continue to use lol in response to something that made me chuckle, and to let the poster know I thought their post was clever/funny. Mock away.

LoL! ; )

I only use it now when I actually chuckle a little bit while reading a post.

[quote]Mock away.

I can't be arsed.

LOL = Lips On Labia?

Lube our Lingams.

[quote] Lube our Lingams.

These dumb queens don't know what's a lingam.

Lick Old Labia

[quote] Means ur old. Gen Z uses Jbol (just burst out laughing) now.

But that’s different than lol which indicates a light chuckle.

Who knew this could be so technical for some of us.

Wither LMFAO?

As already noted, it is overused and should be reserved for something especially funny not just a grinner.

Boomers are still trying to figure out “lol” huh? Call up AOL customer service and ask.

^ See R29, where I clarified my original post for the benefit of those who are slow on the uptake/didn't read all of my original post.

L O L ?

Lindzebelle’s October Lingerie

Soon to be revealed!

Laugh On Loudly!

Loving 🥰 On Latinos

It means the user doesn’t get into fights, he “engages in fisticuffs!”. The fight doesn’t start until he tosses a silk glove at the face of his opponent.

You are an idiot OP.

LOL - laugh out loud. IDGAF I don't give a fuck. JK - just kidding, DIAF - Die in a fire. SMH- Shaking my head....

r17 How embarrassing for you

R75 Lighten up, sourpuss.

LOL = Lindzebelle O’ Licker 👅

written communication has become totally informal and like casual speech. the abbreviation is used in lieu of laughter - because peers now text each other more than they speak they developed ways of emoting. It's used all kinds of ways and doesn't always imply laughter. It can be rude, ironic, or affable.

This thread has me ROTFLMAO.

I thought the young whippersnappers (and those trying to emulate them) just say “☠️” now, as in they’re ‘dead’, presumably because they died laughing— which seems even more disingenuous to me than lol, which is a lie.

In dl posts, 'lol' is akin to sharing a smile in silence. 'lol' becomes our gentle nod, quietly whispering, 'Here's the humor asshole' It's the understated touch that adds a dash of charm to our already bitchy discourse.

Is there an abbreviation for Laughed So Hard I Spit Take Through My Nose?

LSHISTTMN 👃?

IIRC...

LSHISTTMN

OP, it's just some sad, fat cunt who thinks their response is funny.

Nellie Prisspottery is most likely available in Truro.

OP, it's sort of like that asshole who always sat in the last row of your class who would mimic everything someone said. That sort of thing.

There's also a meme/joke where if someone thinks you're saying something dumb, or full of BS, or can't believe what you said, they'll repeat it and alternate upper and lower case letters.

[quote] Truro

The city?

It's JOEY, and I LIKE BLUE!!

Are we forgetting about the fkin smiley face. The smiley face cannot be forgotten. That’s what distinguishes it. Some of you do not read critically.

STOP FORGETTING SMILEY FACES.

Oh JFC it means you think something is so funny that you actually chuckled. I used to feel like a hypocrite using it because most the time I didn't actually LAUGH OUT LOUD. So I restricted my use of it to when I really emitted some sound of mirth while reading something online.

I think it's jaded now from overuse to show humorous approval and not necessarily real laughter.

OP is typing from 1997, give her a break.

Way back when, someone reply with "(grin)" instead of "lol" to something I wrote. It's become my go to as a playful nudge in online messages from me and in response to.

It's especially handy for those times when you gotta throw in a joke and make sure everyone knows you're just messing around. Think of it as my internet wink – perfect for hook ups on Sniffies, NKP, Adam4Adam, etc.

Fuck all of you. I refuse to stop using LOL to mean i had a small laugh at whatever.

I don't mind using "lol" at all but there are some snobby twits here (okay, let's face it, a lot of snobby twits) who decided it's unacceptable, like kids in 7th grade deciding you were uncool if you wore tube socks with yellow stripes, but not blue or red stripes.

I'm using LOL whenever

[quote]Typing LOL defines you as an oldster with limited tech skills.

We have solid tech skills. We were using computers prior to every single thing being automated for dummies. All newer generations know how to do is text. They are fucking useless when it comes to anything low level.

Lick On Labia

Seriously r96.

Spot on.

Oldsters have actual skills, not skills at using phones and computers that require no real skills. You shits can't even read cursive.

R99 is that for real? Seriously they can't? Idiots.

Or read a clock that's not digital.

Some people write lol after just about everything they text so they can’t be accountable for it and later on say they were just kidding.

LMFAO!

I had a dear friend who typed LoL. Then she died.

LAND o'LAKES (butter)

Lol, y'all so crazy
