Do you say 'lol' in real life?

[Shoobedoo 44]

I only say "lol" ironically. Does that make me a hipster?

[The Leafeon Pinkeh 3,603]

Jokingly, I pronounce it out like its a word instead of an acronym dx lol

[Pineapple Bloom 511]

No, but I say "IDK" in real life. XD

[The Professor...8D 823]

Never have Never will. I find it extremely irritating, akin to nails on a chalkboard, or Clowns. Even in texting I do,"HAHAHHAhahahaahhaha", "HAH", or similar items. Don't know why, just do. 

[Sazama Ichida 2,367]

Apparently Internet Memes really HAVE broken the 4th wall now...I went to Sunday School one day and saw the word "DERP" on the chalkboard.

First, I'm wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too old to be anything even close to an edgy fedora tipping hipster so with that said I'll go on.

 

The first time I remember seeing LOL used, anywhere, was back around 1989 or 90 on Chicago BBS (If you don't know what a BBS is feel free to ask me.) The first time I ever saw it used on the Internet was around 92 or so. I've typed it into chat, in E Mails and on various forums more times than I could possibly count, much less remember but, as much as I've used it in that way, I never did actually say it.

 

Still, it's funny because words like this eventually find their way into a standard Dictionary once they come into common enough use. I don't know if LOL has made it into a dictionary, yet (I'll have to check) but I imagine that, if it hasn't, it won't be long before it does.

 

Update: Well, this's no surprise to me at all but guess what? After a very short Google search I did find LOL in the dictionary. Miriam Webster's dictionary to be exact. You can see it listed here. LOL!

Not really. I have a couple of times but that's probably because the people I hang out with say it often. ;p

[cdx561 238]

well the way to say lol in real life you would say haha its pretty simple

[TailsIsNotAlone 3,695]

Only as a joke. Like, if I'm imitating myself or someone else texting. But I never seriously say "lol" to signify mirth.

I still dont think id even use it as a joke i find saying lol odd in real life... LOL but thats jus me

[Starlight Fan 538]

Yeah lol.

 

Yada yada yah, filler text is cool.

[Fender 1,283]

I do when I am deliberately being ridiculous, or intentionally unfunny.

[KatonRyu 1,033]

Not in the way meant here, anyway. The Dutch word for fun is actually 'lol', so I sometimes use it sarcastically, but I don't use it as an exclamation or anything. Hell, I try not to use it online either, although sometimes I slip up.

[Blizzard Gale 272]

I'll say it as one word sometimes. Usually like "Lawl! or Lulz" when I find something sorta funny, but not funny enough to actually laugh. >~>

[AFK 89]

No. I don't use it.

As a matter of fact I don't even use it online anymore.

[JonasDarkmane 19,785]

I often say 'lol' when I'm around my peers, otherwise, no.

[Scream Lucid Dream 103]

I say Roffle. And when I say Oh my god, I sort of half-say OmaG. Like OMG.

[Petrus 696]

No... I knew someone who said it ALL the time and it annoyed the crap out of me.

[Pastel 7,630]

No, it sounds very weird to say it IRL.

[Jon C 229]

I'm guilty, but only online. Never actually say it face to face.

[Kapitan zur See Hans (Daz) 883]

I've slipped up and said it a few times, if I do it is never on purpose lol

 

I guess I'll put yes down though just because I have said it sometimes.

[Metallic Strings 185]

No, but if we keep saying it in reality, well become robots.

[Darius 70]

Yeah I say it all the time, it's quite embarrassing because I consider it a 'Squeaker' thing to do.

[Jora 164]

yes i say it all the time is started at job corps and stuck

[Kothen 279]

I say it ironically and I overdo it on purpose. "LOLOLOLOLOLOL I'M SO FUNNY!"
