"lol" was used to react to other people when it first became Internet language. It meant "You really made me laugh out loud".

Now everybody uses it to react to themselves -- to say "I am so funny", and to mean "The point I am making is so great that I am laughing, so it must be a great point".

Stop that. Run from the inner child. Run.

@mondayschild2 lol

(demonstrating here a correct, non-infantile way to use 'lol' for the SW peeps)

Yes, use real words that depict real actions, because actions speak louder then words.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. 😏 Often times no matter WHAT is said you'll get the response..."lol"

But she chases me and then I get scared. It's better if we hang out.

Its weird how language changes.

I don't get the ones that mention some horrible or scary experience or issue, and then finish it with "lol" .
Like : "I was abused in school , lol."

Wotdafuq is that supposed to imply ?!?!

@OogieBoogie Language change is indeed interesting. But language is being destroyed now. Words mean anything and therefore nothing, and people don't care that they cannot define the words they use....grammar rules changing, not from normal processes, but because most people use incorrect confusing grammar so much that it becomes normal -- normal and incoherent. What's left is just: emoting.
