'lol' junkies
lol junkies are a breed of internet users I cannot stand. They come from the same kind of set as Caps Lock junkies THAT TALK LIKE THIS. And anti-comprehension junkies WhIcH TyPe LiKe tHis. They are people that inhabit IM conversations and internet forums and any other medium which the human race are allowed to post on. These people believe the 'lol' abbreviation is as essential as the space key. They must be stopped.
Lets look at what the individual letters mean:
L: the first L; laugh. The action of expressing humour in a visual and audio manner
O: out. Of not being inside a container
L: the second L; loud. The volume of audio expressions and/or media.Brought together 'lol' stands for 'laugh out loud'.
This can be very usful when conversing via instant messeging (especially for guys who rely on facial expressions to determine the mood of the opposite converser), when you tell a good joke or if you are being cheeky it shows that the comment has been understood and has not caused offence, in such a case the 'lol' might be followed by a :O or associated emoticon to fein offence.
However, 'lol's can be missed used. For example here is a conversation I had on MSN
Messenger:
lol junkie: Hi
Me: hi
lol junkie: lol
lol junkie: how are you?
Me: good. you?
lol junkie: lol
lol junkie: not bad
Me: up to much?
lol junkie: lol
lol junkie: no, you?
And so on and so forth.
Ok, its not dazzaling conversation but how could I try to start off anything interesting when my mind is occupied trying to work out why 'hi' was so funny. Most of the conversation went on like this meaning I was getting rather annoyed and so giving fewer and fewer reasons for someone to actually laugh out loud.
If you're going to show that something is funny at least see if you actually laughed out loud. If not why not say 'haha' or use the :P emoticon? Otherwise 'lol' just becomes another useless phrase, like swear words which were expletives but now are used to link up less offensive words: "Yo bitch this shit is fucking good" or in English, "Wow mum, this cup of tea is really nice".
If you're not laughing out loud, laughing your ass off, laughing your fucking ass off, or rolling on the floor laughing don't say it. If you are laughing out loud, laughing you ass off, laughing your fucking ass off or rolling on the floor laughing, say it (or say it when you get off the floor and/or reassemble yourself).
Drop your lol junkie ways and allow the males to understand you. Do it or I'll send Trevor round.
Keep typing.
Nitey nite.

You are SO right... and what's even worse is the a/s/l junkies. I mean... READ THE PROFILE IDIOT! If they can't bother to read my profile, why should I even waste my time in an IM with them?
