My Mum used to send me text messages using lol all the time. Once she even sent a text saying "Granny is very sick right now, it's not looking good for her. lol"

After calling her I realised that she meant 'lots of love'. Oh how we laughed..

Aw that's so cute.
There's no love on this site, after you spend some time here you'll see we all hate each other guts.
Or is that just me?

You left out one of the more important ones NSFW. Not Safe For Work. Saves heaps of trouble, that one.

And dont you know the rules of abbreviations are you bluff that you know what they mean until some time when you finally figure it out.

This page is worth bookmarking, OP (Original Poster - you).

No mention of NQFTAILs, though. Not Quoted For Truth As It's Lies?

Very good and I believe BTW that SAJALMAO means , smoking a joint and laughing my ass off.

TBH This has been most helpful. ALthough I'm disappointed the LOL means laughing out loud. I've used it lovingly for ages now as lots of love. , this might be the reason Amanda hasn't called :eek:. sht I must apologise. Her boyfriend dumping her I guess was no laughing matter.
