i don't know why i have spurts of funny hatred when i see a use of the word 'lol'.
i am still comfortable with LMAO, OMG, WTF but its the 'lol' people use when it is least expected......rather it least fits.
LOL as i know is abbreviation of
"laugh out loud" (most common)
"lots of luck" or "lots of love" (less common--infact non-existant)
Now, if somebody cracks an awesome joke...and people use this word to express their hearty laugh,its still ok.
But these days its being plain overdone, i'll give you some good examples;
it was my first rollercoaster ride, it was awesome lol..
lol..my cousin kicked the sh*t outta me
it was my uncle's funeral ..lol..
eeew .. i forgot...its your birthday lol
SORRY..LOL!!
lol..you are funny!
omg , i gtg srry....catch'ya later lol..
if somebody is so amused by such crap that he/she feels like laughing so bad...i feel that person's got to be the biggest loser around.
and if 'lol' in itself was not enough for some people they invented similar words - 'lolz' or lolzz or lolzzz (add more z's to make it stronger)
wtf is lolzzzzz? -'lots of laughs and then suddenly dozing off?" Thank heavens keyboards don't have feelings!
just wanted to share this thing with you guys. how do you all feel?
sorry if i offended some 'lollers'!
PEACE
yeah the
"lol it's jesus"
jokes really show how language can be turned into the enemy of all living things
but then guess older people have always felt that the younger crowd abuses the language

and lastly i am sharing my views and i seriously don't mean to offend 'lollers'!

LOL!
Coming to the point, yeah, its annoying these days. People use the word 'LOL' just for no reason. I cannot figure out, if it makes them feel that they're cool.
Also, people also seem to use 'LMAO' for no reason! Do they really 'laugh their ass off'? *no*
and i am so proud that i've never used this damn word in my general english except for when i talk about it being a symbol of "wannabes"
and i won't use it until somebody points a gun at my head and tells me to type 'lol'
.......and i'll feel like such a loser afterwards!
and yes- i am don't contribute to younger crowd spoiling the language as i am myself 20 years of age!
lol to me has always meant and always will mean "lots of love."
so when i see it all over the place, i just think "what a lovely world it is that we live in, all this love around in the air"

Aye, I thought the same and thus used it at the end of some SMSs, etc. when it simply wasn't appropriate according to what the recipient understood it to mean.
A lass I was very much into some years back thought I was slightly making fun of her as I ended most of my SMS with lol and she eventually asked why I always thought that fairly innoccuous remarks warranted laughing out loud at the end.
Naturally, I felt a right Herbert. Since then I've only used it in the way everyone else does. Not that I use a lot of abbeviations anyway: I tend to punctuaute SMSs or any other messages in the normal way, not least because I used to be a grammar teacher.
wikipedia gives the bast answer

Penny for your thoughts
I think that there is so much shorthand that people place into what they write, that even this generation has forgotten to even spell the very words! "lol" is so misused, as well as things like "4, lmao, (and what ever else is out there!!)", (show how behind the times i am!!!) If there was not the bulk of the SMS (Short messaging Services) out there, maybe people might be able to write correct!!! Well, that is just my thought...

is that "write correct" or "write correctly"
"lol is lol", is lol. (LOL!)
To freely use an acronym, a Dutch word and a Welsh word, in an English sentence.
Seriously though: I mind these words in certain situations. If you are chatting with someone over the computer, using IRC or instant messaging or whatever, words like LOL and such can be used. Now and then in a forum post is ok. Using it in spoken language is a definite no! What bothers me a lot more is the more random abbreviations of other words user by everybody all over the place. If it's not worth to spell out, it's quite likely not worth saying in the first place.
Yeah. People nowadays.

exactly!
i was pissed off at one of my friends for excessive lolling.
perfect definition (to me!)
from urbandictionary.com
It's original definition was "Laughing out loud" (also written occasionally as "Lots of Laughs"), used as a brief acronym to denote great amusement in chat conversations.
Now, it is overused to the point where nobody laughs out loud when they say it. In fact, they probably don't even give a **** about what you just wrote. More accurately, the acronym "lol" should be redefined as "Lack of laughter."
Depending on the chatter, its definition may vary. The list of its meanings includes, but is not limited to:
1) "I have nothing worthwhile to contribute to this conversation."
2) "I'm too lazy to read what you just wrote so I'm typing something useless in hopes that you'll think I'm still paying attention."
3) "Your statement lacks even the vaguest trace of humor but I'll pretend I'm amused."
4) "This is a pointless acronym I'm sticking in my sentence just because it's become so engraved into my mind that when chatting, I MUST use the meaningless sentence-filler 'lol.'"
See: lmao, lmfao, rofl, lawl, heh, haha, lolol, and 120 for similarities.
Statement: Sorry if I'm not too cheery, my best friend just died yesterday.
Worthless Reply: lol
Statement: The golden ratio is truely an intersting aspect of not only mathematics, but art as well.
Worthless Reply: lol
Statement: ... And then he says, "Your mom goes to college!"
Worthless Reply: lol
Statement: Hey, are you doing anything tonight? You could come over to my house and play some Unreal Tournie...
Worthless Reply: lol, ok

ha ha ha ha (thats my version of lol)
great find. thanks buddy
how true!
Well this thread really made me smile, if not lol!!!
hmm... i got nothing against "lol" if it's used in chatrooms (IRC and stuff like that) but i think it really doesn't belong in a Forum... a place where you CAN take your time writing a reply, not unlike in IRC where you have to react instantaneously and are more inclined to just type "lol" than elaborate that you are laughing.
It's equally annoying when i see kids tranferring "lol" from the virtual to real word, using it instead of REALLY laughing... that is were proper usage line of "lol" drops instantly.
Now i've said "kids" use this frequently... having noticed that, i reminded myself that i'm just 26 years old... and yet, i feel like an oldtimer when i hear kids speak these days.

I have this quote stuck in my head, but I cannot remember what it is from.
A man asks another man a question, and he says "I don't know" and walks away.
The man who asks says "You don't know?, YOU DON'T KNOW????"
Does anyone know?
you dont know?
I dont know either...
any more info mght help like year or genre
can you describe the actors or the context?
anything?
The prestige.
When during the funeral, Hugh Jackman's chrarcter asks Christian Bale's character which knot he tied for the tank trick.
Also, I recall something like this in The Prestige...
Yeah I can see it now in my head, the part from the Prestige.
Yep, it was the prestige! thanks

Quote from gizmodo:
Whenever you give users—especially kids—a photo sharing application where they can upload their own photos, you're gonna get some nudity. That's fine, except for the part where I said kids. Now it's bad news for Apple.
We can see how they approved the app, since it's innocent by itself (a photo sharing and uploading app). But when 15 year old girls start uploading topless photos of themselves, like the previously approved and then denied Hottest Girls app, that's when someone needs to take the app off the market.

the application for the iphone has child pornography not monly is this stuff sicks it highly illegal

this means there is picture of children naked on a n iphone app
how is this lucky?
forget it
Forget it dude! forget it...
remenber one more thing please...
The one who searchs... find.
I know a monster that is on every house of this fu*_*n world called--- Internet--- and something even worst!!!! bad dad's!! unresponsible fathers... thats about we must to be aware... not if we let our divece to our children... cellphones never will be on hands of a child!
See winmo too it has a great app with this enhacement!
We sucks Srs not phone platforms! be smart.
Skyfire great with flash videos! as you can see below... MODS Im going to delete this but i need to hold this till this guys keep it on their minds! Thanks.
Oh BTW censored her face please kraize...
Removed the offensive pics!!!!
Wow... that's just disgusting.
You should delete that picture + Que PPC, it is really gross... (and your "joke" wasn't funny either)
Applications like this need to be monitored, and that girl needs to get legal action. To punish her? No, but to show her parents what she is doing, and maybe get her some help. Girls who that do it have problems with their self-image... it is very sad.
I've seen many stories like this, but when I see people doing stuff like this (especially kids/teens drinking, nude, doing drugs) on the news, I still get this sick feeling in my stomach... these kids need help.
Thats the reason i did it derek!
Cause its not funny to get hiden into an app and a fu*_*d thing like the app is the reason for all!
Do whatever you want dudes if a mod bann me for a few days is alright with me. cause my point is solid...
edited after deleted pic:
So... mikey1022... the first post pic isnt offensive? come on dude even thought... her face is shown!
blaming apple for this is like blaming google for letting me do a search for "nude jailbait" or something else equally silly.

This is disgusting and degrading! how can you people call this lucky?! Where is your respect and modesty? Adults are the root of this evil, act your age and promote positive attitudes and influences!!! While sure you could say it is the media blah blah blah, but then again who is the media made up of? adults. This is repulsive.

Two things... first, nobody "forced" her to take the picture. She knew what she was doing. Everyone has their own choices, and they must take responsablity.
And all adults aren't evil... just adults who act like horny teenagers...

But just how bad your parents are doesn't mean you should, say, go kill someone. I know plenty of people that have had terrible parents/child hoods and have become great people. I think people are just looking for an excuse for their behavior.
no derek i think shes right
if a person is taught proper morals and have a better upbringing then they dont do this
and it falls to the adults everytime
yes she took the picture
but surely here parnts know about what shes up to?
if they dont then they must be neglectful

Well that just puts us back at the: either learn the easy way or the hard way. And you're saying that parents/upbring plays little role in how people turn out? sure some have ****ty parents but what about other adults? or other friends that have been raised properly in which the troubled child looks to them for guidance and love.
This one's for all my fellow men out there (Fallen Sparten). The guys (us ORD's). My homies (pretty much everyone). Even people who tend to use big words and diss us (you know who you are *Jagurrie*). Don't you just hate it when a girl keeps texting you. And then like, you don't want to text back but you do anyway. And you don't know what to talk about. And you don't really want to flirt with her because you don't like her. And even if you do like her, you don't know if she's for real or not. So then it gets boring. And then you try to keep her laughing because you have nothing better to do. But then you don't know if your jokes are funny enough. So what do you do?
sounds like ur not really into her from what ive learned in ur post ... u should just friendzone her , treat her like a boy and she'll wash off ... that is if she doesnt have some nice friends , cuz in that case u could exploit ur "friendship" with her nicely (cough wingman cough)
COUGH if your talking about yourself idrk u n datd be weird cuz yeah COUGH!
so what do u prefer to do?

LoL...deifnitely I will do this...
First I'd find out if she is in fact actually a 'she', then I'd find out what age she 'really' is so I wouldn't get a knock on the door by the police.
If you've got the above info and you're satisfied that its correct, then text away. If you are unsure of what to say, I always find a bottle of whiskey helps with this.....makes you more relaxed, less nervous and you come up with completely insane things to say....which will keep her interested as lets be honest. If you're boring and not funny she'll stop texting you back
If you're really stuck on what to say/ask....just type in something like 'Things to ask a girl' into Google and I'm sure you'll probably get lots of sites with advice
Best of luck
Lol she goes to my school so no worries.
Lol at u suggesting that. You sure do like to google things don't you!?
So none of you Maa Flippers are answering my ?
Who's ever had an annoying girl?
Me getting many girls have had many.
U?
Simple advice...
If you do want to talk to her...text her back.
If you don't want to talk to her...just ignore her text messages.
lol Guyz.. i guess our friend G1BRICKED here is not asking for suggestions, but is asking if any of us faced such an issue...

It this is indeed the case, then as G1BRICKED stated, he doesn't really want to text her. Been there done that. I found somebody I wanted to text and stopped texting the other flirtatiously. Nothing wrong with 2 friends texting occasionally, but if you want to flirt text....find someone who fits the bill first
