Sometimes I really do laugh out loud. But it’s usually just a really big HA because I’m hiding in the bathroom and don’t want anyone to find me. Not that the music doesn’t give away my whereabouts.

I don’t use lol at all, because I think it sounds daft. I am unlikely to say in full to someone “Oh, that was so funny that I laughed out loud.” I mean – a laugh IS out loud, so you don’t have to clarify that. When you laugh under your breath, then it’s more of a chuckle or chortle.

In fact, when I read things on the internets that make me laugh, I generally do make a ha ha noise with my the back of my throat, and so I actually write “ha ha” as part of a reply if that’s the case. Or if I actually laughed loudly, then HA HA! If that makes me a dag, then so be it.

Plus the other point is that some people end every sentence with lol. It gets really dull after a while.

So when I say LOL I really did laugh out loud, but it was more of a chuckle. I don’t really say that anymore. I usually just say HA! If something really made me laugh then I say HAHA! If something really made me LMAO then I say Bah hahaha, because that’s what my laugh really does sound like. HA!

So true…Twitter and Facebook are overrun with LOLs. I never write it unless I actually did…But some people write ‘Going grocery shopping. LOL.’ Really? Come on…they mustn’t know what it means!

I really like PIMP (peeing in my pants)…I think LOL is way over-rated too, in fact I was actually going to blog about it soon! xoxo

OK…so I know it’s a little – ok – a lot off color. But my husband and his best friend Joe had this chat…they HATE LOL. Exactly for the reasons why you have issues…so they created TMAH. Tickle my asshole. Leave it up to guys to make that up. Now when they send e-mails to their friends it how they end it. Personally, I also think this was hilarious. I was going to post this very subject on my blog, but you beat me to the punch. LOVE IT!

Please don’t TMAH…it’s really a one way runway !

TMMS,

Cristina

I usually am one of those crazies that is laughing at my computer screen. What about BATMN? Blowing air through my nose. That’s usually what I do, with an odd little smile.

I use LOL but not like some people. It annoys me. They use it when they have nothing else to say. Especially on Twitter. When I do use it I really am laughing out loud
