When you type LOL, is it because you're laughing out loud? |
|
Or is LOL'ing qualitatively different from laughing out loud?
PS: Have you ever rolled on the floor laughing? Or seen anyone rolling on the floor laughing? \\
PPS: (I won't even ask about laughing your ass off.)

1. I type "lol" when I actually laugh out loud, for any length of time. |
|
I've only rolled on the floor laughing a few times, once to the original "Toonces" the cat sketch, so the rofl emoticon isn't so true when I use it...
Better this than being a Republican.

6. Rarely am I laughing out loud when I type LOL... |
|
Which is why I think "LOL" is a pretty internetism, but I still use it all the time.
If I'm actually laughing out loud at something, I will usually say something like, "That literally made me laugh out loud."
And while I haven't actually rolled on the floor laughing, I have laughed so hard that I fell onto the floor...but I stayed pretty stationary once I was down there.
I WISH I had laughed my ass off, so I'd have an excuse for my lack of roundness back there.

a stranger's delusions of wit and urbanity. :rofl:
* ETA: I _never_ type "LOL." When I'm genuinely amused, I type: Hahahahahahahahahaha.

9. I usually type "haha!" myself. |
|
And I'm not really emitting a single "ha," now that I think of it...

11. LOL usually means I've actually chuckled at least a bit. |
|
If I think it's funny but didn't LOL, I say "hee" or "ha" or "heh." Really depends on the context. :D
