ITT discussion of people who use memes, jokes, or lingo in the real world. If I hear one more person say "lawl" in real life I think I am going to die
why should you care?
I saw a cell phone ad that said something like "Don't let their 'lols' add up to a 'OMG'"
I used to say Lol IRL, but its died down now. Some people in my class say it still, we're all pretty much nerds. Sometimes when people use wow commands while they're doing something, it makes me facepam.
Example:
/sit before they sit down or somethin,g I don't play WoW so I don't know.
Or not
its realy retarted, I might bring up desu or a meme, but never stuff like lol, I said lulz on ocasion tho.
You faggots, I never EVER do that.
I don't even want others to know I post on a chan site.
ONLY DO IT WITH IRONY.
Cannot stress this enough.
Incorrect usage:
Person A: A man walked into a bar and knocked himself out.
Person B: lol
Correct usage:
Person: So I found this web site which claimed to have non-nude high school girls except it turned out to be a lie as some of them were nudes. I lolled, and also fapped hard.
Which is to say, using LOL is acceptable if talking about a time where you WERE on the Internet. Whereas using it with respect to current conversations is unacceptable.
"lawl" on the other hand is unacceptable on or off the Internets.
Actually, I use "lol" every now and then, but only when being sarcastic.

agreed
saying "lol" at a joke is like saying "FAP FAP FAP" at a nudie bar.
When I found 4chan, I wondered how come so many people there talk like that one friend of mine. Then I realized that he speaks an ED dialect of 4changlish. No wonder so many of my other friends make fun of him all the time.
They're Internet Fanatics- Literally, they take their Interneting too seriously and they can't find the line between Reality and the Internet.
Ugh... 4changlish with an ED dialect? Shoot me now.
Seriously what do you care about? those people are tards, and will probably win a darwin award.
I'll say thing like, "O-M-G" or sometimes I'll say out loud, "Sigh~" but it's not habitual. I do it to be funny.
there's this one guy who says "for the win", i want to slap him. i think if someone actually said "lulz" i'd just lose it.
Well, I know where you guys are coming from, but you can't deny that the internet will have a growing cultural influence that has and will continue to penetrate into language. I don't know if you can fight it. It'd be interesting if thirty years from now with the new generations, "lol" or some form of it entered every-day conversation and found itself in the dictionary.
At least Japan is fortunate that there is no good way to pronounce "wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww". At least not yet.
I know this girl back home (I'm away for uni) that speaks in nothing but washed-up, tired old memes she picks up off of the 4chan facebook page and livejournal runoff. She will very literally and very often pronounce things like "LULZ!!" "for the win!!" and "I CAN HAS _________???" all the fucking time. I think the one thing that really really really hacks me off is that she pronounces "orz" (as it should be phonetically spoken) all the time, just for fun because she thinks it is entertaining. I can't stand the bitch.
>>21 There's a meme that needs to bleed into real life.
I know people who are into The Game. People who respond very emotionally when someone causes them to lose. One woman whose husband heard "OH FUCK I JUST LOST THE GAME" from across the house every day. And then the entire group we're in has to talk about teh gaem for five minutes.
I'm tired of memes in general, on the internet and off.
