LOL is NOT Supposed to be Said Out Loud
Ariela Haro von Mogel April 15th, 2008
I went to this party a few weeks ago and could not help but notice a young man (presumably a college freshman) say LOL in this dragged out, absurd way to anything he considered funny. Seriously, if any of you out there get this old school reference, he sounded like Joey from the 90’s show Blossom when he said it. LOL!
Maybe this guy spent way too much time typing away on AOL instant messenger and in chat rooms, that he somehow thought it was acceptable to say LOL in public. I mean, the next logical step would be for him to say ROFL and LMAO amongst mixed company. Actually, now that I think about it, that would be really funny to hear an adult human being say ROFL and LMAO in public. What would that sound like? Roffle? Lamow!
Anyways, next time I see this guy, I am tempted to sit him down and reason with him. Who knows, he might just get really mad at me and say WTF!
LMAO!! you would have a field day in my classroom..the kids do this ALL the time in thier conversations…and it gets annoying when they are taking a test and write IDK when they don’t know an answer-i just think this new generations thinks it’s gr8 2 txt EVRTYTHING..brb….
