"Lawl"

As in, oh my gosh you're so funny "lawl" - known to most of us online, simply, as LOL. A cute abbreviation that indicates amusement to the point of laughing out loud (usually - sometimes it's a blatant lie, but a white one).

I am just fine with abbreviations - especially if it's in an online game where you may be doing 4 things at once.

Let's leave that stuff online, though. I see no reason for anyone to say "lawl" in person, and it's 100x (see, I <3 teh abbv.) more ridiculous because it's the TYPED form for the pronunciation of an abbreviation that is used in ONLINE CHAT! Essentially it's just translating from Online to Spoken to Online.

WTF PPL!
