Do you say 'lol' in real life?

[Invincible 2,091]

Yes, but only when i'm with my best friends, because they're the idiots that infected me by saying that all the time.

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

no, not ever. its kinda stupid... thats basically saying laugh out loud, why not just laugh?

[ShadowPirateX 600]

Sometimes. No particular reason why

[I love Jelly Otter 477]

Lol, sometimes it's just wants to get out by itself, lol!  But then I realize I don't speak English in real life, lol!  xD / iksDee

[11th Doctor Whooves 794]

I'll say it when reading something outloud, but I have been known to say it......and then I grimace and want to smack myself in the forehead.

[FoxOsprey 46]

On occasion; which is strange because I never use it when something is actually laughably funny.

[AkiraLeeJounouchi 857]

I used to until I realized how stupid it is to say an emotion when you can just do it in real l ife. XD

[Haruhi-chan 486]

I have by accident. I think i almost said it once, but I caught myself or something. XD Other than that, I don't think I say it in real life all of the time.

[Celtore 2,770]

I never said lol... Instead, I said something much more idiotic.

 

I used to play WoW back in the day with many of my friends in the class. We had a guild and everything. So one say, I said the following in response to a joke:

 

"/laugh"

 

I said it facetiously because the joke really wasn't that funny, but the others thought I said that in place of laughing like a normal person. Of course they didn't believe me and started "/joke"ing about it for a good while.

 

So yeah guys, don't do it. Laugh, give a withering look or make a terrible pun in response.

[Art Thief 215]

Next thing ya know people are gonna be goin' 'round sayin' "lmao," and "roflmao."

[Samurai Equine 51,441]

No. Kind of feels like anyone who does probably forgot what LOL stands for or why it was invented in the first place. I've heard of hipsters saying it ironically when something is not funny, but that just reinforces what I just said in the previous sentence, and makes me want to go "You're doing it wrong!"

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

I will depending on who is around me, if I'm around some of my more internet savvy friends I will say it in a semi ironic fashion (akin to a fake laugh).

[iceestarz 5,764]

Yes, but I don't do it seriously. I say things like Swag, Yolo, Awesome Sauce, Lol, Ham Sandwich, Ermahgersh, Impossibru, and anything else in that vicinity very jokingly.

 

About the only words I use seriously that are even in that realm are Oh Celestia(cause some of my friends are Christians and always get on me for using the lords name in vain, whatcha gonna do, I'm not religious -_- ) , Sweet Apple Sauce, and any other food related words used in mlp cause they're fun. Oh, and Okie Dokie Lokie.

Heheh, no and I am sorry to anyone who uses 'Lol' as a common word but I honestly hate it and never use it in real life or the internet so in short I never use it as it just sounds like every time I hear it my Brain cells are comiting mass suicide one by one, even worse though is

*Gags* the word SWAG but whatever.

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

Nope, can't say I do!

In fact, usually I won't even say it on the internet, it's rare unless I'm excited about something!

Often I'll just say "Hah!" or "Haha, yeah and..." if something cracks me up though, I'll submit to using "LMAO"

 

I've definitely heard people use it outside of the internet, and it's even slipped out of my mouth before! 

[ThatOneComrade 1,091]

It started as a joke, I swear! 

[Omega Centauri 317]

At one point I did find myself spiuting alot of internet jargon irl, but I guess I grew out of it.

[Twilight Circuits 603]

I do laugh out loud if I find something funny whether someones around or not... But I do find myself saying in my mind sometimes when I'm looking at something and don't feel the need to actually laugh.

[Retro*Derpy 3,183]

I don't say "lol" but rather there are times I say "lawl" instead. Seems to flow easier off the tongue.

[BayoUni2847 528]

I've done it once or twice, but mainly around friends as a joke.

 

My friend said it once when we were in class back in my sophomore year and some of my classmates kind of made fun of him for it.

 

I guess that's the reason why I don't have any respect for 2/3 of my graduating class.

[Side Bird 566]

Nope, never.

I DO

wanna say these though...

[Leavinh 313]

I do say "lawl", but I have never pronounced it "el oh el". It started off joking and ironic but, like a lot of dumb words, I have genuinely started saying it.

[Celli 4,338]

No, it sounds stupid to say anywhere else but online or texting.

[yayayayayala 1,668]

once in a blue moon I'll say lol

but I mostly do it jokingly 

it never just slips out 

That's exactly how it is with me XD I never accidentally say "lol" aloud. I say it to myself sometimes because it's really a shortcut of sorts, but not often.

[Starlighty 956]

I do every once in a while but not a lot actually... I am surprised I don't say it more often but since I giggle a lot to pretty much anything that's probably why I don't say a whole lot.
