Who started these things?

Thu Sep 04, 2003 4:31 am

You know, I was just sittin around when I thought of the most random thing ever. Who started things like lol, stfu, and brb? Were they one person's lazy creation, or just somethin a lot of people thought of at the same time? Just wondering, you know, at 5:30 in the morning before school.:confused:

I think it began with a veeeeeeeery lazy person who sent it to his friend's, who sent it to there friend's and so on and so on

lol?? the laziest short word ever.... i cannot imagine someone lazy enough not to laugh and just say "lol" when talikng with him in real lfe...:D

that would make me feel upset...

You know what I want to know? I don't know what these "words" stand for! Maybe someone can make a dictionary so that blond dumb people like me understand what it REALLY means!!!

[EDIT] Ok, I know what BRB and STFU stands for, but what about LOL, LMAO, etc..

LoL = Laugh out Loud
LMAO = Laughing my ass off
ROFL = Rolling on floor laughing

FOMAL (this one is new) = Falling On My Ass Laughing
IMO = In My Opinion
IMHO = In My Honest Opinion
