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.

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 ?
