The "lol" Revolution - Nubblies.net Forums

Tig 'ol Bitties · 11-18-2003, 01:26 PM

As of lately I find that every time I talk to someone via the internet, the same thing is repeated. Yes, the ever so popular phrase "lol." Myself, I've never really used it so I can guess that is where I began to dislike it. Sure enough, EVERY person I talk to says it....NON STOP. It was cute at first, and then just became rather annoying.

Probly for the fact that "lol" = "Laughing Out Loud"...because I describe myself as laughing when I'm actually laughing. So I started talking to a few people at my college and we got into a bit of a discussion over the matter. We came to the agreement. "lol" / "Laughing Out Loud" mearly describes an action. One could clearly state that action as in "hahahahhahaha you fucking suck, hahaha," rather than say in covert language that I'm laughing to make you think of me laughing out loud.

We agreed that another phrase should be used to describe something that is funny. Not saying you're laughing, just that you think it is funny. After all, if you are laughing, THEN LAUGH...."HA HA." So when you think something is funny, but not worth your laughing, then we came up with "tf"...yes geniuses you probly guessed that that means "That's Funny." It is a much more practical and literate (if computer lingo is literate at all) way of communicating with others and really getting your message across.

Now, I'm fully aware that I'm surely going to be bombarded with messages of the people who have been enslaved to what I like to call "idiot language." And that these messages will probly be no more than a full page of "lol's." But it really just proves my point further, so be my guest and be an idiot. But if you in any way support the revolution that we have started, please let me know....we have in one week alone more than 200 + people using "tf."

I always just say "hahahahaha..." however many times I laugh. Seems reasonable enough.

Then if I chuckle I say "heheh" which is a shortened version of "heh, heh".

SAPIYV.

That's a new one that's been going around lately. It stand for "Stick a puppy in your vag'".
