The Most Over-used IM text
 
Simple what's the most over-used IM text?

If you choose other, tell us what it is.

Ugh, the use of "LOL" infuriates me. It's lost all meaning now, with people using it and its variants thereupon (i.e. ROFL, LMAO) for almost any purpose. People say "LOL" even if they're only mildly amused, if even that, and it just annoys me.

I agree, but I do gotta say, that whenever I watch Arby N The Chief, I expect Master Chief to say "lolololollololololololololololol" at least once.

"Lol" will always be the most used IM text...People say it even when they aren't really laughing, and use it more as a conversation filler. I know I use it way too much >.<

Aizuke December 1st, 2008 12:15 PM

I always see...

lol
wtf
nvm (I hate that one. D:<)
idk
omg (I always use that one XD)
ilu/ily (best one <3)

I don't see the varients of lol much though, like rofl or whatever.

Signomi December 1st, 2008 12:18 PM

I'm afraid using "lol" for anything other than its actual definition has become more of a habit to people now, I know it is in my book. :/ In any case, the term is a supposed reaction to anything amusing, even a filler for conversation as Aurafire has already stated. But it would have still topped my list of most commonly used IM abbreviations; but thanks to further influence of the internet, "XD" is on an equal scale despite the fact that it's an ASCII glyph, I've seen it used a lot more often.

Mitchman December 1st, 2008 12:41 PM

BRB and idk maybe? I mean they are for me.

andreality December 1st, 2008 12:56 PM

Lol, i usually use lol in all my posts ^^

Himawarii December 1st, 2008 1:05 PM

OMGOMGOMGOMG.
Haha,not only online,I use that phrase at least 200 times a day in real life.

Caelus December 1st, 2008 1:27 PM

LOL, XD, and IDK are the most over-used from what i've seen.

Apparently everyone uses lol even when, technically, there not laughing that loud.
XD doesn't bug me, considering that I always it to be a better alternative to lol.
And IDK is probably my least favorite one, it's like no one wants to spell words correctly just to save time.

Of course, this is all just based off of personal experiences, aswell as opinions.

SamuraiMaster December 1st, 2008 1:30 PM

Yeah, I was gonna put WTF and BRB, but I already had like 15 others, so I just put these 8 up. Maybe shouldve used theminsteat of 1337 and w00t

moon December 1st, 2008 2:04 PM

I use XD in every post I make, I think.

I hate LOL. Really don't like it. And OMG... I use that one -shot-

I don't like these shortenings at all, really. Nuh-uh. TYPE OUT THE WORDS, FOLKS. kthxbai XD

Spinor December 1st, 2008 3:14 PM

lol and XD are the most common in my life. They're not annoying but very common. Like Rattata in that field where you are trying to find a Raticate. They're not annoying... just overused. Ironically, I abuse XD in many of my post so much, I could be a registered 1337 molester.

Azonic December 1st, 2008 4:30 PM

"lol" is definitely the most overused IM text. People say it even if they weren't even laughing, but just read an amusing little line. Because not everything they "lol" to was actually laughable, the use of it heightens.

Confuse December 1st, 2008 6:23 PM

You can create walls of text in IMs by just sayin' "lol" over and over again.

Makes no sense, but it's been done.

.:Kanto:. December 1st, 2008 6:30 PM

It's definentily "lol" I havn't gone one day without typing it to someone lol. *Damn it! I did it again :\*

peirateis December 1st, 2008 6:45 PM

Lol definitely, if that incluedes rofl and lmao. Rofl and lmao themselves must be in the top ten.

Belinda December 2nd, 2008 8:48 AM

I use "lol" alot in a day,probably over fifty times a day in im's ha ha. Oh and real life I do also alot,this word is so continuously, I hear it everyday.

Volkner's Apprentice December 2nd, 2008 9:31 AM

It has to be "LOL" althought, OMG comes close after awhile I suppose. Depends on the person, but for me it's definitely those two.

Hawkfish December 2nd, 2008 12:10 PM

LOL and OMG. Lol doesn't annoy me. OMG does. ;;((<-<))

Legobricks December 2nd, 2008 12:48 PM

'U', 'ur', and in some cases 'ure'.

ErickaVolt December 3rd, 2008 4:19 AM

I use LOL most of the time. Especially at the chat.

Gummy December 3rd, 2008 1:48 PM

idk, my bff jill?

But seriously, I see lol (and it's many variations) the most and I can't deny that I don't abuse the term either. What I really hate is when people use IM talk in real life. My sisters goes around saying "omg" all day and I just can't take it anymore.

Zebra Thunderhead December 4th, 2008 5:43 AM

I use "OMG" the most. I'm not a big fan of "LOL" but I'll use it when I'm laughing hard enough.

Ascaris December 4th, 2008 6:09 AM

Lol and xD in my opinion.
