LOL

I wondered for a while, then decided it must be - lots of laughs. Hope I'm right - perhaps we can be simpletons together.

Laugh out loud?

'Laugh out loud' or in other circumstances 'Lots of Love.'

LOL - Laughing Out Loud. A 21st Century [or sarcastic]way of saying Ha, Ha - usually used in text speak, which is becoming increasingly common in other forms of written communication!!
Hope this helps.

If you get stuck on them these acronyms again this is the place to look.

Toto, don't feel bad......I had to ask my teenage son what it meant.....now I use it all the time on here. I have to ask all sorts of things like that.....lucky I have 4 teenagers around to do so. It took me awhile to get used to the smiley faces.... :o) and :o( and :op and :o~ etc etc.

id expect them to be better than me realy

i never wanted a computer i just knew if i was going to get anywear i needed one and not become a dinosaur lol . got to say i love it now

Toto - here's another variation for you.
I told my m-in-law that it meant little old lady, and all of a sudden she stopped using it!
I use it like you might just use one of the sideways smiley symbols - : ) or : )))) or ; ) that one is someone winking or my daughter does ;p which is meant to be someone sticking their tongue out!!
Really it's just a happy, friendly little thing. I don't take it as being sarcastic.
Btw, btw means by the way.

and pls don't say u r a simpleton!
Your slow worms sound interesting - did u ever get a photo of them?
You must have a garden where the wildlife is very welcome and happy.

how cool to have slow worms very rare weeding nice one bye the way lol

Oh, I don't take it as being sarcastic either...I just take it as written....the person is laughing...not at you...just at whatever it is that is funny....photo...someones comment...whatever.

cool better to smile than frown i agree

ToTo looks like it could be another shortened version of something . but I can't work it out. T42 was an old timer, like SWALK.. You did start a chain with this one.lol

doesnt swalk origenate from prison letters ?

Not as far as I know, Np - we used to write it on the back of envelopes when I was a teenager back in the days of the dinosaurs....

Ooh no .. is that right lol meant sarcastically ? So sorry to anyone whose comments I found genuinely amusing.
As for lmao has anyone thought of a way of recycling these missing body parts ?

NP & BB - you make me LOL

SWALK - sealed with a loving kiss...what memories.

Wasn't SWALK used by a lot of soldiers during the war? Another one was NORWICH - I'm not translating THAT!

Please do!

No offense at all Np...after all I picked the name lol!

Of course you could also ROFL ... Roll On the Floor Laughing.

Aye Np...takes all sorts ..we should treasure each others differences.Having said that ..beginning to suspect Im not the only bonkers one on here lol
