I want that.

Ah, another one who has taken the path of the crazy get-up

I use neither. I use "Heh". It's all I'll ever need. Besides, using "LOL" and it's variants makes you seem stupid, while "haha" seems somewhat pointed and pert in nature.

Hmm. I voted Haha/Heh etc. I do use ROFL/ROFLMAO on occasion but I absulutely REFUSE to type "LOL" in context. It just feels so... newbie-aol-omglol-kekekkeke-^___^. If you get my meaning.

I never have and never will seriously use LOL in any conversation.

Heh is just the typed equivalent of saying erm - meaningless noise.

BTW, has anyone every actually ROFLed? I mean, physically rolled around on the floor while laughing? I vaguely recall doing so once (when I was fairly drunk - thus the vagueness) while a friend was making a prank call (a harmless one, I should add).

I think the days of the standard English word "rueful" are numbered.

who invented LOL and ROFL and all of those things anyway?

The world may never know.



But most likely some chat-happy kids who couldn't use a keyboard quick enough, or didn't want parents to know what they were saying.

heh im not dead.

Some of these date back to the early days of the 'net, before the WWW had taken hold. I think the main ones from that era were: OTOH, LOL, BTW, IMHO, IMO, IMNSHO, ROFL and PMJI. Personally, I find those pretty much acceptable and just a part of Internet life, especially the ones that are useful shorthand for some flame-avoiding pleasantry.

Here is the oldest USENET post I can find featuring ROFL.

And this one for LOL in its current meaning. It is a fairly interesting document, if you're into this kind of crap. Check out those 1980s smileys. ]:>

LOL appeared to mean Little Old Lady before it took on its current meaning.

Heh, someone needs to write a definite history of the Internet, LOL.

'Heh' is all you ever need, online or offline. 'Heh' is the only one that you can use in a real conversation so that the only ones who look at you funny are other geek-types.

"Heh" is a one-word statement akin to "yup" or "uh-huh" in a Texas-style conversation.

Isn't that the politicaly correct for 'sluts'?

The only thing i like to do is type ok instead of okay, you only have to type half the word. :-)

Woot, and I'm Texan! Uh, ya'll.

ditto

haha and no we don't ride horses everywhere, wear cowboy clothes, and we don't all live on farms ;)

I've said 'heh' and 'meh all the time, ever since I was a little kid. I don't think its either a Texas thing or an internet thing.

I use Jua-jua...
