Both, If ever you go onto a Teamspeak Server ( a basic server that lets you talk via microphones ) there are some people that actually speak like this.

I've never done that, but I was disgusted and appalled when I discovered a person who, when conversing in person, face to face, actually says "lol" instead of laughing. Frightening.

One a friend of mine keeps saying on msn is "lolocaust" when he thinks something is hilarious.

Found this comic that mentions this. BA stands for Burning Adrenaline, an attack in World of Warcraft that makes the player explode and kill anyone nearby. You have to run away as soon as you get it on you!

I must confess to having accidentally used 'lol' in conversation on more than on occasion. Like the acronym itself, it's actually handy to signify that something is kind of funny, but not worth an actual laugh. I'm prone to this sort of thing unfortunately, back when I was a lifeguard, I used to routinely end sentences with 'over', whether I was talking on the radio or not.

That's a very good post full stop I hope you talk more of your lifeguard experiences full stop

Eh... I talk the same way in all my conversations, whether typed or spoken. Meh...

You end them all by saying "Rachel"?

Post by **Reisheiruhime** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 4:26 pm

You should be blonde, Alan. Really, you should.

She didn't end that one by saying 'Rachel'.

I know OMG means Oh My God.

But I've also seen ZOMG used in the same context and I have NFI what the Z stands for. No Idea at all. Any suggestions?

nb A friend of mine put NFI as an answer on a Geography exam once and the lecturer exasperatedly mentioned it when telling the class how poorly the class as a whole had performed.

Doesnt mean anything unless you are talking about zombies.

I have to start using that now, but of course I will actually say "zombies"

Found these T-shirts on www.thinkgeek.com, they take a net acronym and make it look inoffensive to the untrained eye:

I also found out a new internet acronym last week and it's a nasty one: DIAF = Die in a fire
