LOL

LOL, LMAO, ROTFL and the newest one I saw on FB for the ladies who want to keep it 'K'lassy, LMBO. Really? All of these laughing abbreviations make me 'just a wee bit' insane. Are you really sitting at your desk, cube, on the bus, train, supermarket line, treadmill etc, LAUGHING OUT LOUD???? Did you just jump out of your ergonomically correct chair at your desk at work and throw yourself onto the low pile industrial calico grey brown coffee stained carpet and roll like you are in a fire safety demo? I find it hard to accept all of this laughing out loud and rolling around since I have never seen a lone person mindlessly flipping around on their iphone and belly laughing, guffawing or even lightly chuckling loudly or at all. If there was even half as much laughing as professed on FB life would sound like the the laugh track from Hee-Haw. I can count on one hand the number of times I have actually read a post and genuinely laugh out loud. Maybe I need to get funnier facebook friends, maybe I am just a younger but just as grouchy Andy Rooney, sans the eyebrow situation? Really, WTF?

The last time I laughed out loud was when CH told the gondola operator at the zoo..."Thank ya hooney" when she let him ride an extra turn. Now that is funny and I LOLd.

LOL, an abbreviation for laughing out loud,^[1][2] or laugh out loud,^[3] is a common element of Internet slang. It was used historically on Usenet but is now widespread in other forms of computer-mediated communication, and even face-to-face communication. It is one of many initialisms for expressing bodily reactions, in particular laughter, as text, including initialisms for more emphatic expressions of laughter such as LMAO^[4] ("laughing my arse/ass off"),ROTFL^[5][6][7][8] ("roll(ing) on the floor laughing") or ROFL^[9] ("roll(ing) on [the] floor laughing"), and BWL ("bursting with laughter", above which there is "no greater compliment" according to technology columnist Larry Magid).^[10] Other unrelated expansions include the now mostly historical "lots of luck" or "lots of love" used in letter-writing.^[11]
