so i was chatting with jenna fox today and we got to wondering if the expression "lol" was universal or just an american phrase. so, after getting my chat privilege revoked for 10 mins because i said the word yahoo, i consulted my good friend wiki for the answer. so i know that this has probably been a question on the minds of many of you for some time now so i'm here to let you know what i learned today!

************************************************************

Most of these variants are usually found in lowercase.

* mdr: French version of the expression LOL, from the initials of "mort de rire" that roughly translated means "dying of laughter".
* חחח‎/ההה: Hebrew version of LOL. The letter ח is pronounced 'kh' and ה is pronounced 'h'. Putting them together (usually three or more in a row) makes the word khakhakha or hahaha (since vowells in hebrew are generally not written), which is in many languages regarded as the sound of laughter. The word LOL is sometimes transliterated (לול), but its usage is not very common.[citation needed]
* 555: The Thai variation of LOL. "5" in Thai is pronounced "ha", three of them being "hahaha".
* asg: Swedish abbreviation of the term Asgarv, meaning intense laughter.
* g: Danish abbreviation of the word griner, which means "laughing" in Danish.[citation needed]
* rs: in Brazil "rs" (being an abbreviation of "risos", the plural of "laugh") is often used in text based communications in situations where in English lol would be used, repeating it ("rsrsrsrsrs") is often done to express longer laughter or laughing harder.[citation needed]
* mkm: in Afghanistan "mkm" (being an abbreviation of the phrase "ma khanda mikonom"). This is a Dari phrase that means "I am laughing".[citation needed]
* In Chinese, although 大笑 (da xiao; "big laugh") is used, a more widespread usage is "哈哈哈" (ha ha ha) on internet forums.
* In some languages with a non-Latin script, the abbreviation "LOL" itself is also often transliterated. See for example Arabic لول and Russian лол.

also:

Lol is a native Dutch word (not an acronym) which, coincidentally, means "fun" ("lollig" means "funny").

In Welsh, lol means "nonsense" � e.g., if a person wanted to say "utter nonsense" in Welsh, they would say "rwtsh lol".[25]

hope you have enjoyed your technology vocab lesson for the day! 555 Quote

I sure did enjoyed reading it...
In romania, we use lol ( well, yeah , we aren't such smart asses to figure out another name for lol so we copy the american one), there are some girls here that instead of laughting/smiling they just say lol... in a face 2 face conversation, not an internet one....and that sound like sh!t
But...what is the philosophy of LMAO? Quote

you'll have to wait for a future installment of WILT (what i learned today)! maybe i can make this a series! lol

hey why not?! ok, so if anyone has questions about anything that pertains to this site either sex or tech, post them in here and i'll research them and answer them all! Quote

gdiddy this post is to funny. Who knew

I cant stand the people that instead of actually laughing they go "lol"....seriously people? It's easier to laugh. I think the only time there should be an lol in convo is if its being typed other than that actually laugh Quote

i've actually said w.t.f. as a joke before, but i've never used an abbreviation as actual verbiage. that's sad.. if someone actually said "lol" while speaking, i think that might be the end of the conversation! i get it if its in a text message, cause you only have 160 characters.. but it does lead me to this:

if you are having a serious conversation via text (which you should never do anyway), saying lol immediately followed by j/k DOES NOT erase whatever text messages come before it!!

example:
YOU: just remember i can get any man i want, so you're lucky to have me!
ME or WHOEVER: ok, well then.. go enjoy some other guy. i'll have your shit in a box in the living room, let me know when you want to come get it.
YOU: lol - i was j/k, jeeze why do u take everything so serious?

if it can be interpreted wrong, don't say it! on that note, thank you for your time Quote

gdiddy learn about the Lakers

Kimme took gdiddy to school dunking over him and hitting all 3 pointers

Word filter is not good if you write in sentences
Use puntuation and spaces

Stay in room - You can see model video and all that is written
You just can't reply for 10 minutes

Filter does not see smileys as spam . I use them for punctuation to not be banned as often Quote
