Thread: Have you ever said "Laugh out Loud" or "lol" in real life?

Haha, I don't normally do stuff like that, however I have said "lol" (as in actual pronunciation of the "word", because that's how I read it online) a few times.

That's how I say it too. Then I heard on Big Bang Theory, Penny saying "lawl cats"
I was like wtf. But apparently a lot of people pronounce it lawl instead of lol

Weirdos....

And I've never said any of these IRL. One of my "friends" used to say lol, trying to make it like a thing. I just called him a fucking idiot.
If I actually liked him I may have started saying it too though. I dunno.

I have said fail quite a bit, but as mentioned, it is a proper word, although not used correctly 99% of the time in the meme context lol

Ashamed to say, but yes i have said LOL in real life.

i say it when i have no reply to what the other person said, or i wasnt paying attention

kinda like on the internet

I've used it to show sarcasm, and our biology teacher used "WTF" after explaining dna replication.

There was a time when it was a trend. I do use it quite alot, but anything is accepted in college.

...lol

Yes, I've used "lol" before in the past. I've also use "omg" and "wtf", although not as often.
