Is there a difference between LOL & lol???

I've wondered if one is 'lots of love' and the other 'lots of laughs'

If my caps lock is on and I do LOL will someone get the wrong idea, lol 😀

dodge ·

no, LOL and lol mean the same thing.

wacked1, there is a dictionary out there explaining them all. There are so many!!

ROFL = Rolling On Floor Laughing
LMAO = Laughing My Arse Off
BRB/brb = Be Right Back
thnx = Thanks
btw = By The Way
IMO = In My Opinion

IMHO = In My Humble Opinion...

73 = best wishes
88 = love & kisses
Hi Hi = laughter

ie. means "That is" as in when clarifying a point.

Black_math ·

Lol = laugh out loud,
atm = at the moment
brb = Be right back

"ie. means "That is" as in when clarifying a point. "

as in the latin "Id Est"

Black_math ·

E.g. for exlemplae gratia, as in an example😀

"Fac ut gaudeam"
it means Make my day!😀

Thanks dodge for the link

A lot of those abbreviations I firstd used in old times on the BBS (Bulletin Board Service). When chatting on the internet with other users they were not overused like SMS which needs to be shortened, but helped to reflect emotions. Emoticons like 🙂 were not available, you used them so the person reading what you had written would not take your comments the wrong way. A lol at the end of a sentance would mean you are only having fun.
Nothing worse than chatting and someone reads the other end VERY differently and takes offence.
So all you young whipper snappers with your SMS talk can go to buggery. LOL

Black_math ·

Which way to buggery?:P

helbus ·

Ooooooh Buggery. What a fantastic thought.

Just don't say "Well bugger me!" too often, as you may just get what you ask for. 😀

I have to wonder about all the toyotas with the sticker BUGGER all over them. Is it saying something about the driver or the car???? :o
