There's always those times you just use the term "lol" to fill in space in an online conversation. They don't mean anything. It used to mean "laugh out loud", but now it's just there like a punctuation mark. Actually, scratch that. Punctuation marks serve a purpose. Well, now that I think of it, "lol" can be used to lighten the mood of a message.
"Sorry I ate the last Hot Pocket in the fridge lol"
The sentence can function properly and deliver the same message without the "lol'. I know it's not only me who thinks this way. I had talks about this with a few people. Here's how my instant messaging lingo works:
"haha" is when something makes me smile.
"LOL" is when something makes me chuckle.
"HAHA!" is when something makes me laugh.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" is when something makes me gasp for air.
"lol" is when I have nothing else to say.
But, now I've been seeing "haha" in sentences when it should be "lol" in that context.
"Sorry I just ate the last Hot Pocket in the fridge haha."
I know I'm overreacting, but I actually use "haha" when something is amusing. Not to fill in space. That has been "lol"'s designated role.
I promise to post up something better next time. I wouldn't call this a good post, but just something I wanted to express on my blog.
haha
