OP thinks it removes rudeness and not adds lol

Everyone knows LOL means "smiled and made a rueful exhalation of breath".

Whereas LMAO means "yes, I actually vocalized a chuckle".

ROFLMAO means you let out a series of ugly giggles ehehehehehee

Is it just me or does LOL remove rudeness but replace it with snark for anybody else?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Depends on context, but yea.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All it removes is credibility. It signifies I no longer need to take anything you say seriously. LOL.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm a snarky bitch so this works perfectly, LOL

I used to have a button that read: "Is There A Polite Way to Say: 'Fuck You'?"

I have since found that the way to do this is to say "Fuck off, mate," in an English accent, with the tone of the word "off" and "mate" said in a second and third tone respectively. You should end the word "mate" in a fricative tonal shift down to indicate directive rather than query.

This is considered a polite way to tell someone to go away, in much of the US anyway.

aussie accent also works, and then you can say basically anything because you just can't be offended when someone sounds like steve irwin

"Croikey! Here we have an average American Bloke. Look how enormous the bugger is. I'mma poke him with a stick!"

"OH! HE'S ANGRY! HE'S ANGRY!"

After trying a couple times in my head I think I get what you were after, but my initial thought was saying "fuck off, mate" in the style of the Duracell chime

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That would be tones of 3,1,5. You want 1,2,3,2.5

This meme is not funny you should talk to a professional lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This meme is dumb AF lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This was a shitty meme lol /s

I’m reading a book “Because Internet” that talks about exactly this - how online writing evolves and can develop subtle meaning. It’s pretty interesting

Unlike “lmao” which I find rude as fuck. Any comment which ends in “lmao” immediately gets a downvote from me, it just seems so condescending and crass.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Ok, boomer. Lmao.
