What does LOL mean...see it banished around quiet often,,,,,Does it mean...Lots of Love...Lots of Laughter...Lots of Lollies ?....curious....TomB
Tom,
It is part of internet slang. There are so many abbreviations in use in cyberspace.
To answer your question, LOL stands for "Laughing Out Loud".
Did you know XOXO stand for "Hugs & Kisses" ?

Thank you...that explains a couple of things.......XOXO... now that is something I am sure I will not get on this forum......thanks for that...I think I may have misinterpreted the LOL somewhere.....cheers TomB
On abbreviations, I was taught in school and university (college) not to use abbreviations, but to spell out all words. For examinations, there were strict instructions not to use abbreviations so as to avoid dropping marks. In a recent email message to a fellow forum member, I even spelt out K&C as King & Country. Am I fastidious? Yes, but LOL. ^&grin:tongue:
TTFN, Raymond.

Quietly rightly so.....teachers know best (Tongue in cheek ).....abbreviations can cause confusion.....I am always wary of any abbreviations (is there a short cut for abbreviations? ) ...that contain the letter "F"......cheers TomBOn abbreviations, I was taught in school and university (college) not to use abbreviations, but to spell out all words.

"TTFN" is an informal abbreviation for the colloquial valediction of "ta ta for now". I have no idea if this is internet slang or if it pre-dates the internet.
The fact of the matter is I can't keep up with the advances in the digital world. There has been a proliferation of the use of abbreviations, especially with text messaging. Sometimes, I just can't understand what young people are messaging, if there are too many abbreviations.
Cheers, Raymond
