the word lol has been used so many times, but i don't even remember the last time i literally did Laugh Out Loud. i know there are handfuls of people who use this word and don't really mean it. are you one of those people ?

I'm the one who use it all the time, even though I'm not laughing, for me it symbolizes that I'm contented, and I'm not serious, or angry

I have a tendency to laugh - full-on belly laugh a lot. I can't help it, I find humor in so many things. So when I type "LOL," chances are I mean it.

Sorry, first off,(I just feel nit-picky) "lol" isn't a word. Anyway, moving on. I use "lol" a lot. I don't always really laught out loud when I use it, sometimes I do though. Its now more used for when I find something funny.

Eh, I don't use "lol." Instead, I usually write "haha", and I am usually laughing when I type that. Sometimes, I say "lol" with my friends if something is especially funny, in a mocking way though.

I don't really put "lol" unless I'm really laughing out loud in front of the computer screen, I'm not neccesarily laughing like crazy, but i'm literally laughing out loud.

I never put lol...I used to use it a lot, and then realized how it was...taking over nearly everything I said, so I stopped. I can't remember the last time I used it. But I do remember that when I did use it, I never really did laugh out loud. I used to just say it when I had nothing to say.

We (as in my particular group of friends), use -snicker- or something like that. When I say "lol", on the odd occasion, I do really mean it. And if I say I fell off my chair, chances are I did.

I despise the phrase "lol". There are people I know who use it out of habit, and it's literally every 3 words or so. Even it's something serious.
"I have a knife to my throat, I'm going to kill myself." "lol really? why would you do something like that lol?" It's very annoying. |

i rarely use "lol." i think it's kind of stupid... i know people who use it just as a filler and say it every few words, and i know other people who say "l-o-l" when they're laughing in real life...
 when i am laughing i put a smiley face =] or some kind of face. |
