STOP TEXTING LOL!

hogie (19)in #funny • 7 years ago

I often find myself texting and wanting to put the overused laughing out loud symbol. Maybe it's just me but it's cliche. Is the person really laughing out loud sending the text or are you? Seldom do I laugh out loud while typing the symbol - so why do we do it? I found this article that will provide you with 42 other ways to say something similar. I was amused by their true definitions ...lol :)

haha = I'm acknowledging that you've said something you perceive to be funny, though I don't find it particularly funny myself.
haha. = I am weary and loathe to laugh, but here, you have forced it upon me; OR: I hate you.
haha! = I am pleasantly surprised to learn you are capable of modest humor.

HA = Vengeance and/or justice has been served appropriately.
hah = Three-quarters of the way toward typing the most tepid indication of appreciation there is, I became too bored to continue.
haaaaaa = I am disgusted with (but not surprised by) humankind.
hehe = I am a middle-aged, self-proclaimed pickup artist who is pleased to have recently discovered Reddit.
hehehe = I just said something intended to be mildly sexual, but now I'm realizing it was maybe not clear that it was mildly sexual, so maybe I'll quickly also type the laughter of a cartoon villain wearing an eye patch???

heh heh = I am cautiously optimistic about my own evil plans.

HAHA = I made an audible laughter-type sound at this!!
HAHAHA = I am IRL laughing so much!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA (etc.) = I am starting to panic that I may never stop laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol = I feel nothing. I want this sentence/conversation to be over but lack the wherewithal to end it directly, with purpose; I want to admit to a feeling but lack the conviction; I want to tell you how you've hurt me but want more to pretend I am invincible; I want to laugh, really laugh, but do not remember how; OR, maybe: that was funny, whatever.
Lol (sent from iPhone) = The above, but with an added element of Autocorrect shame. I did not mean to be so formal; I wanted it clear how little I cared.
lol. = Like "ha." but sadder. Angrier.
lolol(etc.) = I am so self-conscious right now!!! What am I sayinggggg, ever!
lolllllll = I feel beneath my skin surface a brimming hysteria, an existential query both exhausting and frantic: what am I doing here? The things that amuse me now are so different from anything I could have imagined as a young child. Partway through typing I realized the absurdity, the smallness of that which made me lol, and so I held my finger firm upon the "l" key for a while, and I wondered what would happen if I held it there forever.
LOL = I briefly, but not disingenuously, chuckled.
L-O-L/L.O.L. = I want nothing more than to cry. OR: I made a joke and I'm your dad.
lolz = I am Gchatting/texting with two to four other people at this time; each of them is significantly more interesting than you.

rofl = I am an extraterrestrial who learned to approximate human language by scanning millions of pages of AOL chat logs collected in the early 2000s.
roflcopter = I am a police officer working the undercover teen drug-use chatroom circuit.
lollerskates/lollercoaster = Sometime between 2000 and 2004 I was a starred internet forum poster, and someone I chatted with regularly — someone a little older, whom I looked up to, someone with lots of x's in his/her username — used this word, and I was overcome by impossible coolness. I am now grown, and quite serious, and typically hyper-articulate. But sometimes, when I find something a little funny, I indicate pleasure with an improbable portmanteau like this one, and I feel again that I am young, and excited, and waiting to get online.
