Ever said LOL outloud?
 

As IRL, around other people?

I have, once, and I didn't like it. Fucking Internet. :)

Wow.. what a loser :p



jk, but no, never

Its been on the tip of my toungue before... always caught myself before I said it though. Thought to myself "Did I almost say LOL? WTF!?!?"

I always think lol but never say lol... I say r0x0r and |-|/\x0|2 and 1337 but never lol. I have said roflmao... it sounded stupid.

No.

I knew this girl that did it all the time. I wanted to slap her every time she said it.

I did it by mistake once. Haven't since then.

Never in public...

You know.. most of the time when I say LOL, I didn't really LOL.. My life is such a big lie! LOL... ...

No, I haven't...
But since I see the "WTF?" appearing more often, I do use "what the fuck" to characterize extremely odd situations...

But I don't say W-T-F, I say the words completely...

Ya I have, because it's a joke around here when we do it. I've never said it when I really was laughing though..thankfully

Yup said it around my mom. She just looked at me blankly like I'd had a barin fart and whatever I'd said made no sense. I had to explain. She still though it was nonsense to even type that. That's my computer illiterate mom. ;)

I say all of those kinds of things as a joke, usually in a really mocking or sarcastic tone, when me and friends are having a laugh about "1337 culture" and script kiddies.

Never. I hardly ever type out "lol" anymore. It kind of annoys me now to a certian extent. I tend to use "lmao" more, but even then not so much so. When I first started chatting a few years back I used "lol" in nearly every sentance. :rolleyes: I was looking back at some emails from a friend from 2 years ago, and my message had so many "lol"'s in it... Ugh.

I catch myself thinking it sometimes...grrr. Wrote it on a birthday card once, too...oops.

No. But then again, I generally type in proper English anyway, so I wouldn't. Even when I'm chatting, I don't use acronyms, tho somtimes i use fake contractions or let the odd typo sldie.

How did you pronounce 'lol'?
Did you say L-O-L, or did you say it like the start of lolly-pop?

yes, but its always as a joke or making fun of some one

The latter. I am just glad no one was around to hear it.

I've never said "LOL" out loud, but I have said the following out loud, because they are funny or useful on their own:

wtf? Net - "What the fuck?" IRL

omgwtfbbq! Net - "Oh my god (pause).. what the fuck (pause)... barbeque." IRL because it sounds funny as shit and few people know what the hell you're talking about.

After playing EQ for so many years and constantly referring to situations "IRL", I find myself saying "in real life" in spoken conversations about people or things. It's completely sub-concious, and only with my gaming friends.

e.g. I've been playing Dynasty Mode on NHL 2004, acting as GM for the Canucks. I worked during the game last night, and afterword I called up my friend and we talked about how the Canucks didn't just lose, they lost in real life. Man I'm cool :rolleyes:

I say "Shrug" a lot...online that translates to ::shrug::

Other than that though, "WTF" comes out sometimes too.

Never LOL though.

Exactly; I'll give some friends hell about that, heh.

I've said it as a joke before

I'm with you on this one. I very rarely use LOL or any form of it, especially if i'm not actually laughing out loud. I find it especially annoying when it is over used.

I remember looking back at some old IRC chat logs from "back in the day" and wonder why anyone would bother to carry on a conversation with me. I was also like 13 or 14 at the time, so I'm sure that had a lot to do with it.

hrm...I've not said it _out loud_...but I think it quite a lot.

(It's been my fear of pronounching it wrong that has held me back, methinks...is it 'lol'lypop or 'lo(w)l'y?)

I oft say 'what the fuck' (but not wtf) and 'meh'.

I dunno, 'LOL' in written form doesn't really bug me...I like some acronyms. Efficiency is a positive thing, methinks. ;)

lol...

cant say i have ever even thought about using that in real life....

Since when is "What the fuck?" netspeak?

I say that plenty, and did long before I used the net. Why are people mentioning that?

(obviously saying "WTF" is different).

i've thought it before, but i don't think I've ever actually spoken it.

My friends and I usually say "rofllmao" in place of laughing sarcasticly. We'll through in "lol" every now and then.

I've said "lol" and "lmao" and once I think I've said "rofl" and yeah..I'm not proud of it either....

I have.. not many times though.. my biggest non-irl saying has to be omg though.. My girlfriend and I say this constantly.

can not lower my standards enough to type it, much less say it.

no. in RL i'd actually be laughing out loud, not reciting 3 letters.

duh

its slipped out a number of times.
in front of my completely computer illiterate friends, it had no meaning, they looked at me funny, then continued the conversation.

I just laugh really hard, that's what LOL is suppose to stand for...right?

yes... but then again "lol" is also a dutch word signifying "fun" so nobody notices it when I mean L.O.L

I don't even type it, so no

I've said it once, but that was back when I typed it as well. I stopped typing it about 2 years ago when I realized how stupid it was to say "lol" when you weren't actually doing it. Now people have the "lolooolololooool" variations of it and I go out of my way to not say it. :)

-Lasereth

I said it intentionally in a discussion about computers.

I've done it once or twice....and it was kinda weird.

Agreed, although I have found myself using the smilies on this board, which I didn't really want to have to use, but sometimes people don't realize I'm joking.

The only computer acronym that I use in speech is RTFM.

Same... :lol:
