I never say “LOL”
But I do say, “haha, heehee, heh heh”

wrote yesterday about how much a farce saying “lol” is when you’re not
actually laughing out loud. Ironically, the other night I was
thinking the exact same thing. In fact, here’s how the epic story
went:
Surely, a more epic story was never told.
Self Analysis
So this lead me to wonder– “Why am I this way? I say WTF, BRB and TTYL and several other Internet acronyms.”
And then epiphany hit me. I ONLY write acronyms of things that I
would actually say in real life. For example, when I leave a room
to take a shit, I say “Be right back!”, when I hang up on the phone
with someone, I say “Talk to you later!”. For the cases of
‘BRB’ and ‘WTF’, sometimes I just say the straight acronym in real life.
However, whenever someone says something funny, I NEVER say “OH MY GOD
LAUGHING OUT LOUD!!” I just laugh out loud. What’s really ironic
is that I really do make the “hehe” and “haha” noises when I’m talking
to people.
Other Internet slang that I would NEVER say because I never say it in
real life: IMHO [yeah, as if I’m humble], LMAO, ROFL, ROFLMAO, TTFN,
CPU [for ‘computer’, hello, a cpu is something totally different,
people!].
Which Internet acronyms, abbreviations and colloquialisms do you use? [Look ma, I’m semi-alliterate!]
THIS IS THE COOLEST THING
I’ve seen in years. Someone please be kind and get it for me! =P Just
kidding, I don’t even know where you’d buy it from. Link pilfered
from this site.
