Except nobody ever said LOL or OMG outside of texting like a weirdo. People just aren't taught proper verbiage and they now use their slang in actual conversation which makes them less likely to be understood by the majority
If you've never heard someone say those letters out loud, your crowd hella neurotypical
Was just about to post some "what are you talking about?! Lots of people said..." but maybe that says something about the number of diagnosese my friend group have accumulated...
Yeah nah I'm not mad at them, just a little jealous maybe. They sidestepped an entire pet peeve
I have a friend that says pmo out loud. I haven't said anything about it, and I don't think it will.
I had to look that one up. Had no idea toktokers were so polite lmao
Wha? She's not super terminally online. Just really awkward.
All I could find is that it's a tik thing. I don't touch the stuff myself, filthy habit.
I still today use, and hear familiar millennial use, "lmao"
Usually ironically with a twinge of negativity. Pronounced "luh-mow"
IE "Did you here the US elected Trump again?" "lmao"
Usually only used on its own, it suddenly sounds weird if you put it in a sentence but purely just used as a response to show ironic dissatisfaction quickly.
Pretty much the verbal equivalent of an eyeroll.
Lots of people did exactly that. It was obnoxious, and everyone hated them for it.
Lot's of people still do and I think it's completely fine
They don't use the same words I use, burn them at the stake!!
