Pluggers by Rick McKee for January 15, 2014

And all this time I thought LOL was short for LOLA. Had NO idea what they were all talking about.

L O L means " little old lady " . . . perfect !

What do they call people who put LOL on everything, even things that aren’t funny, or even supposed to be funny?

LOL DID mean “lots of love” when I was in high school in the 80’s… :/

Or …. ..? (laugh in Morse)

Or if you actually spell out “Oh My Go(sh)”.

I never LOL….. I might snigger or “snerk”, chuckle or grin. I have been known to type,“ROTFLMTO” on this site just so that younger people might understand.

LOL has always meant lots of love to me, and since I never write to describe a noise coming from my body, it will remain so.

LOL= Laugh Out Loud. People who don’t know have used that abbreviation on sympathy notes thinking it means “Lots Of Love”,causing many an awkward moment. Don’t be that guy.

I remember when my mother and her various correspondents used Ha Ha frequently and often a tad sarcastically. As in, "Jimmie’s new girl friend is a beauty. Ha Ha (I know this because I often read the mail when she put it down.)
