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

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.

Is there a sms spammer for android 1.6 or higher that can send as many sms and a specific time that it is sent?
I sure as hell wouldn't want to be on your contact list.

So should the developers of such an app.
well i just want the app because in case someone pisses me off i can piss em back. is there an app?
SMS Barrage, I'm sure you can find it somewhere.
SMSBomber is better.
Please don't flame me. =]
It's actually a fun app. Not to take revenge on someone. That's just being a.... girl about it. (Sorry, females.)
However, there's some just-for-fun uses for it.
It comes in handy for radio contests when they say "text in your vote for which song is the best" I used it to help some friends get more airtime.
There are actually legitimate uses for automated messaging programs. Reminding people to pay money they owe you is a big one. This is, of course, for real debts and not for harassing people -- i.e. daily message: YOU HAVEN"T PAID YOUR RENT YET!!! HURRY UP AND PAY OR YOU'RE OUT ON THE STREET!!!
(or is that too many characters?)
I use SMS Bomber, it works alright. You can put in a desired amount of messages to send, and it will keep sending them. I haven't tried many other ones.
thanks guys. ill downloaded it
I got tired of seeing retarded comments from stupid people so I just started to mark them as spam in the market. Does anyone else do this?
I mean devs spend time developing an application and some person who never thinks twice about it, gives an app one star.
I just installed a recently released application that streams Grooveshark, and someone posts: "stupid, doesn't download songs" and 1 star, even though the app never claimed to download songs.

I mark stuff that's clearly dumb as either unhelpful or spam. It's unfair to criticise someone's hard work for dumb reasons. If there's a genuine complaint then that's a different matter, but "I downloaded this eBook reader app but my Xbox still can't play Heavy Rain" get's either an "unhelpful" or "spam" click from me. It depends on how harsh I think it is.
My favorites are when they one star it and says app crashes on their phone when its clearly stated in the description their certain phone isn't supported. I mark them unhelpful.

I would delete them
Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages
Sounds good to me
Most of the time I'll just ignore them, but if it get's ridiculous than I'll sometimes report them
Anyone who uses voice input for texting be careful. I just send a text to my 16 yo daughter, what I said, "hey kid outside". What was sent, "naked outside" I used the search widget to send it, and could only see half the screen at the time so I didn't really know it said that. But I also thought it said that the text couldn't be sent. But it did.
FBI is on you now, brother man.
I don't know you...!

I figured why not...let me run something by some strangers / outsiders and see what you think of this. I'll make it brief.
This girl I dated almost a year ago (I've moved on already but it was her who wanted to end the relationship) every couple of months will send me a text message or two trying to elicit a response from me. It's usually a non-threatening vague message that I typically ignore. We're both in our mid to late 20s.
Well now she sent another message to me a few days ago and quite frankly the only part of me that feels bad is I'm not the type of person to just flat out ignore or blow someone off but at the same time I really don't see what it'll accomplish talking to said person again.
How would you handle it?
Still keep ignoring?
Respond back in a mean fashion or in a way to stop her from ever texting you again?
Just be civil and reply back?
Other?
Just curious...here was the gist of the message...I've continued to maintain radio silence basically...
ex's message said:
Thought about you today and hope you are doing well [gives short description of some prior event spawning her to think of me]. Wish I could tell you how sorry I am about how immature I was last year but it doesn't matter so much I guess...I wanted to let you know I realize that and I do wish we had a friendship.

Just write to her "Cool Story, Sis" and never reply to her again. Or just give simple answers like "that's cool" or "good for you". Also she might be drunk texting u.

Attention seeking. Unless you feel some burning need to get involved with her again, simply tell her to stop bothering you.
The best possible way to handle this is to give her my number.
Install a call/message blocking app so you never even know when you get another text from her and there's no dilemma.
I agree with Dirk - she's attention seeking, and if that is the case then she's more trouble than she's worth.
There's only one way to handle this....
Get blind drunk.
Acquire machete...
Drive to her house....
Strip down to your underwear...
Play this song REALLY loudly......
Proceed to hack the crap out of her garden.....
Await inevitable scream from window/being dragged away by police.....
Problem solved....
