Sometimes I don't get when and how we're supposed to used LOL, one of the famous overused texting words. If it actually means LOL = Laughing Out Loud, then why we sometimes use it for something that is NOT funny. Check this:
"What's up, buddy?"
"Not good, lol."
"Why? What happen?"
"I cut my fingers and practically have no fingers anymore."
"Ouch, that's bad."
"Yeah, lol."
Okay, perhaps that was a bit exaggerated. What about this:
A: "Why are you still up this late?"
B: "I don't know. I guess there's something wrong with my recent sleep pattern. lol."
A: "Care to join?"
B: "I'd love to but I can't. This assignment is killing me. lol."
A: "It was fab! You should've come. I met blah blah blah and blah. And blah, because blah blah blah..."
(and 5 mins later)
B: "lol"
True story.
Oh come on. What does LOL mean? If we use lol that much, in almost every case, then I prefer LOLS; Laughing Out Loud Sarcastically. Oh yes I am.
well, it's such a involuntary / accidental /unintentional action deh.
