The Guide to Laughing Online (How-To Dictionary)

Permalink: 7/01/2005 11:12:00 PM | << Back Home

 
When some people laugh online, they don't actually know what they're saying. Silly them... let me clarify the terminology. :)

haha = A casual laugh.

ha ha = A "Nelson" style laugh from the Simpsons, usually at someone else's expense. Hear sample.

hah = Something you don't really think is that funny, but you're laughing more-or-less to be polite and to merit the honor of the other person trying so hard to be funny.

heh = This goes by the same terms as 'hah', but what you're laughing at usually wasn't supposed to be funny. For example: "I'm such an idiot." -- "heh."

hehe = Generally, the other person has said something cute or crafty that's either made you feel horny or malicious. :) If this is not the appropriate response, then a slap in the face may be necessary!

lol = Giving this response means you just heard something that was actually 'laughable'-funny, and you actually laughed on the other end... rather than just smiled and/or made a witty come-back. Congratulations to the person you're chatting with.

LOL or lolol = Think of this as lol, squared. Chances are you will remember laughing about this in a few days/weeks/months/years since it was funnier than a lot of the other stuff that's happened.

rofl, lmao, or rotflmao = These used to be a creative way of laughing other than the typical 'lol', but generally the only people that use these are complete losers. (Yes, I mean you Nate.) Typically, these LOSERS use these in place of 'heh' or 'hehe', and sometimes 'haha'.

That's all I can think of right now. I'll add more stuff later if I forgot any.
