… does anyone know precisely when it was that "LOL" stopped meaning "Laughing Out Loud" and started to mean "I have nothing more to say"?

Nah, can't say that I do ... er, lol.

EDIT: Is 'lol' the new 'Seacrest, out'?

Eh.  I think it still means laughing out loud, it's just that some people are those annoying giggling people who sit there and laugh all creepy like regardless of what's been said or how appropriate laughing may be.

"My cat just died..."
"That's so sad.  ha ha ha."
"... did you just laugh?"
"Of course not.  ha ha ha."
"... my cat died and you'r emaking fun of me?"
"No, that's just how I breathe.  ha ha ha."
"I'm going to go cry myself to sleep now, and you're a horrible person."
"Okay.  ha ha ha."

Oh wow a bashing topic just for meee? I'm flattered boraxe :] I'm glad you pay such close attention to my posts :p and really if any of you actually talked to me I laugh like every few seconds. I have a nervous paranoid kind of thing similar to a tic and I honestly can't help it. When I type I picture myself actually saying what I'm typing and I tend to insert the lol cuz its what I would sound like if I were to say it. If it actually bothers you all then I'll make a concious effort to stop.

Nope. It is neither a "bashing topic" nor "just for youuu".

I'm flattered boraxe


Don't be. While you do do it, you were not the inspiration for the question or the thread.

Were it a "bashing topic" and about I would have flat-out said "Why the does Jesse end every sentence with "lol"?
