lol ?????

[tepo]

Yes, now my rep is gone forever...
Could someone explain to a pure native finnish guy what "lol" means ? is there some other "short things" You guys use quite often ? The reason I'm asking is that english is a language I never get to speak here in Finland...

Wow, thanks for the link, Jad. Looks like cool place to spend several hours polishing i-speak. My favorite so far is

Once more, for the record... Is it "laugh out loud" or "lots of laughs"?

[alpha]

the latter.

[jad1097]

A few years ago my mother told me it was lots of love. So I would say it could mean several different things.

See, I would have assumed it stood for the former (laugh out loud). I wonder who came up with that in the first place.

[Algee7]

It IS "laugh out loud"!!

It's a shame it gets so over used since, once in a while, when something actually makes me laugh out loud, LOL just no longer conveys that. Most use it simply to indicate that something is amusing or that they 'got' the joke http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif

My favorite is RTFM

Read the EXPLICITIVE manual!
