We should bring back the sad “OK” guy. That one has some panache.

Pour one out for their dearly departed lovechild, roflmao.

[–] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

We got old and rolling around on the floor hurts.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 45 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I remember when rofl was ROTFL

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I remember that too. I also remember when 80% of conversations online started with "a/s/l?" and canines roamed the chatrooms like never before or since.

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 8 points 2 months ago

The days before profile pictures and text. Nowadays anybody can check my profile and be none the wiser.

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 months ago

I knew rofl in the early 90s and did not start seeing rotfl until the later 90s.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

That T was just too much! Bandwidth back then isn't what it is now.

[–] MJKee9@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Rotflmao was always the form i saw. I was a PowWow chat guy in the mid-90s. That and Chathouse. A lot fewer acronyms back then.

I sound like the pepperidge farm guy ...fuck me.

Cousin? They were conjoined twins, known by ROFLMAO. Only one survived the operation.

Blame rental prices. The next generation doesn't have a floor to roll on

[–] PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

lol, lmao even is always pronounced phonetically when I read it

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Does anyone read el-o-el or ar-o-ef-el?

LMAO is definitely el mao for me.

I still use rofl because thats what iOS uses to autocomplete 🤣 emoji. It looks like lmao does too, but i always use rofl.

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"rolling on the floor laughing" but i'm not. Things are funny, sure, but so funny I'm on the floor? Years pas between such moments.

"laughing my ass off" has a swear in it

need I say more?

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I laugh out loud every time I type out 'lol'.

Not sincerely, just one, loud, assertive...

Because then I'm not a liar.

[–] qualia@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

The worst part is the lying.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 10 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I feel like BRB kinda disappeared too. It’s like we took it for granted and one day it decided “you know what? I’m not gonna be back”.

I believe it's because you can't stretch ROFL the way you do lmaoooooooo.

The extra Os don't make sense as an abbreviation, but it's fun to shout it out

I think the pandemic made everyone realize how filthy floors are.

LMAO indicates something a person actually does, whereas ROFL isn't really a thing people do, so its more of a meme than it is useful.

That's my guess anyways. Like the latter is less mature because of that and so people use it less.

[–] adaveinthelife@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I hope you can get your ass reattached soon. Sucks when it comes off.
