Do you really LOL?
 
LOLz, I like this question. When you put LOL or LMAO on a computer, do you actually LOL or LMAO? I really dont, like in the begiining, i didnt. Its wierd, i just put it.

Signomi November 20th, 2008 1:05 PM

...it depends. Sometimes just typing "lol" online means that I've passed a chuckle or I'm just simply amused. Using any other variants of the abbreviation would probably indicate that I'm actually laughing.

Candy Christina November 20th, 2008 1:45 PM

If I type just "lol," I didn't really laugh at all. I just thought it was a funny statement. Anything other than "lol," I most likely did laugh. :) Basically what Signomi just said. :P

It doesn't take much for me to laugh though. I laugh a lot.

I rarely laugh out loud when I type "lol." Though it is extremely difficult to get me to laugh. Whenever I actually laugh I usually write LOL or LMAO in Caps. But I can probably count the times I've done that on one hand. XD

Thrace November 20th, 2008 1:53 PM

Whenever I laugh out loud or find something amusing I type haha instead of lol.

When I use lol, it usually means I'm not laughing and I don't want to hurt that person's feelings.

Disturbed November 20th, 2008 1:53 PM

Usually, when I say Lol, I find it a bit funny. I don't typically laugh out loud when I say LOL.
I sometimes give a chuckle when I say "rofl" or "lmao"

Sammi November 20th, 2008 2:10 PM

If I say lol, I'm not laughing. It's kind of like XD for me -- means I'm amused at most, and "I have nothing else to say" at least. I use LOLOLOLOL or HAHAHAHAHAHA or XDDDD or other things like that for when I laugh. But even if I use those, I might be highly amused, but not laughing. *shrug*

Aurafire November 20th, 2008 2:56 PM

When I type "lol" I'm usually not actually "laughing out loud"....Just amused or maybe a little chuckle. If I'm actually laughing it'll probably be something much longer....usually involving capital letters or a face with a lot of mouths...like "LOLOLOLOLOL" or "XDDDDDDD"

Legobricks November 20th, 2008 3:04 PM

I see lol as having become a word —no longer an acronym (much like "radar")— simply to express a non-specific level of amusement at something done, seen, said, et caetera; thus with it being non-specific, upon typing lol I may have laughed or I may have not.
I've been known to say lol IRL too (as "loll", not "el-oh-el"), though only in the vicinity of other internet regulars.

b7astoise November 20th, 2008 3:05 PM

lmao i lol'd when i read the thread name hahahaha and im still laughing...yea im lame lol i cant stand wen people are on webcam and they put lol and they have on the straightest face in the world

Azonic November 20th, 2008 3:18 PM

I don't use lol that much, but when I do I usually would be laughing. I use it mostly on chats and Shoddy and stuff. Anyways, I laugh most of the time when I type in "lol" or "rofl" and friends.

Charliezard November 20th, 2008 3:50 PM

I could be laughing, but I generally use caps if I'm laughing. I just like to type lol...

Aegis November 20th, 2008 3:59 PM

Most of the time when I type 'lol' or 'XD' I'm just amused by whatever was said. But when I'm actually laughing I'll type a lot... more XD

Tater Tot November 20th, 2008 4:16 PM

I never use 'Lol'. It's nooby to me. >< And when there is a case that I use the word, "Lawl", (in my opinion, the only way to say lol without it sounding noob-ish,) nope. Don't usually laugh. It's just a nice way to say, "Wow, that's silly and may actually make someone laugh."
If I'm laughing, I'll probably put a 'XDD;' at the end of my sentence.

Sushi. November 20th, 2008 4:35 PM

Sometimes when I use "lol". I do sometimes makes me chuckle a bit, or maybe actually not laughing at all for no reason. :/

Vernikova November 20th, 2008 4:52 PM

When I type "LOL" it means that I find it amusing. I even put it when I chuckle once just to show that it was at least a little amusing.

ErickaVolt November 20th, 2008 9:54 PM

Yes. I place a lol everytime I laugh or sometimes just when I smile. It's not that big deal.

JessieB November 20th, 2008 10:23 PM

Sometimes. Usually it's just I'm amused in my head :) But when I actually vocalize a laugh and I say LOL, I usually say something like "OMG I seriously just LOL'd for real"

...lol.

Gummy November 20th, 2008 10:27 PM

When I type "lol" it usually means I find something to be a bit funny, but not funny enough to have me on the floor. When I do find something that hilarious, I'd type something like: "LOL XDDD"

Rockéttes November 21st, 2008 12:04 PM

I don't usually laugh over something online; I'm more of a "you'd have to be there to understand it" type of guy, so when I see something online that was obviously meant to be funny, I'll type 'lol' to be polite.

I have seen some pretty funny things online though, so it's not to say that I've never actually lol'd before.

1stGenNut November 21st, 2008 12:21 PM

Haha, sure, I sometimes say ROFL, LOLZ, LOL out loud. And I'm not the only one who does it at uni xD

Vkazuic November 21st, 2008 12:31 PM

Not really most of the time. When I'm actually laughing I just use the extended "XD" or don't even bother typing anything at all, because I'm too busy laughing.

lol is just to show my amusement.

Her November 21st, 2008 12:36 PM

Occaisonaly, depends how funny it is. Most of the time I just type it.

Are we allowed to mime-lol?

Charizard EX November 21st, 2008 9:45 PM

No, I don't even use Internet Slang.

Zennyo Ryūō November 22nd, 2008 8:50 AM

I don't generally laugh out loud. And it seems dangerous to "LMAO".
