Ha Ha Laugh Out Loud

when that first came out i wondered who really Laughs out loud??..so i started posting hahaha..now everyone is copying me..

My grand daughter here in town, the oldest one, just recently told her mother that only OLD people say lol anymore. Ha Ha is now the means of choice to relate humor. Old! Me The girlie's mom says then she will say HaHa as well.

I used to smile and pat myself on the back for knowing that LOL stood for 'Laughs Out Loud' and not 'Lots Of Love'. I knew what ROTFL and PMSL meant, too, though I rarely used the latter, leaving it for the ladies. 'Ja ja' puzzled me for quite a long time until I realised that 'j' says 'h' in Spanish. Of course, it all began to go pear-shaped when some people began to actually SAY "Loll". I think that it must be just at that point that 'LOL' began to fall out of favour, tending to define one as a 'Valley Girl' or an 'Essex Girl' (depending on your nationality). There are several ways of laughing on line using the letters 'H' and 'A'. "Ha ha!", "Haha!", "Hah hah" and "haha" all imply different emphasis and tones of voice and may or may not be combined with what is now called an emoji to express even further shades of meaning. Even using other vowels ('e' and 'o', rarely 'i' and never 'u' which is the equivalent in some countries of the English 'boo-hoo'), we still can't approach the shades of meaning conveyed by a simple 'ha-ha' when actually heard!

I have never seen the HaHa or He He other than from our Texas Redheaded friend and she also giggles and if it is really funny she will add a *snort* I'm a LOL or sticker face kind of person.

I do lol for laugh out loud. It is all in what you like to do,

then again, every now and again I actually do Laugh out loud...did not yet actually rolled on the floor laghting so someone take a look at that one

Funny that I hate short forms but I will use LOL all the time. Don't use the "X" word when you mention Christmas; it really bugs me. When addressing envelopes I do not use the province or state two letter code, I write it out in full. So weird that I have resorted to using that one short form.

lmao I read that too, and I am seeing fewer lols....

I still use LOL all the time. I probably never use haha unless I'm being sarcastic, like if someone complains I say haha, sucks to be you and then an LOL at the end to let them know I'm joking or playing.

I'm also one of that 2%. I rarely use anything other than LOL unless it's a smiley face for the less funny comment.

Really? Now I thought that lol meant lots of love! I have seen the ha ha thing but it is a bit posy for me to use.

I go for a single 'ha!' I am genetically predisposed against 'lol.' I have never used it - oops, I think I just did! Oh well, you know what I mean.

Really? That's hard to believe! I don't ever used LOL - what kind of a laugh is that? I will stick to my "ha ha" as that sounds more like a laugh to me than El-Oh-EL! Let's not forget my "hee hee" too

I use both & ahahahahaaaaaaaaaa
