new to internet?
how about you go to a random chatroom and see how it works for yourself?


Why would you be rude and mean to someone who is asking a simple question? I can imagine learning internet jargon could be extra difficult for someone who is not a native English speaker.

You always have the option of not joining a conversation you are not interested in.


Rude? are you over-sensitive or something?
I'm giving him a sincere advice. Instead of discussing it like that, he should go and see how it works for himself.


I am not a "he" and I am online since three years.
I often cannot find a context between a text and inflictions (I hope, this word is a right one,) which alter the meaning of a text in adding an altered meaning to the words written, also in my mother language.

So it means you laugh about something you have been writing yourself or something someone has been writing or an event you have been obseving?
Thank you for replying.


Yes. Sometimes I also use it because it may be difficult for the reader to know if I am serious or not just based on reading, and literally interpreting, what I have written.

FYI (For your information) ROFL means rolling on floor laughing. That is for those times when someone writes or says something that literally has you belly laughing when you read it.


So it means "irony" somehow?
Thank you for "FYI" and "ROFL". "ROFL" means more than "lol"?
Higher in intensity, I guess?


Yes, I think ROFL is used for more intense laughter...I use LOL when I think something is funny, and use ROFL when I find something REALLY funny. :)


This.

And the rock band LMFAO 's name means "laughing my friggin' ass off".

Just an FYI (lol!).

LOL has more meanings than just laughing. its really confusing when you think about it. it can be used as way to say I did not read a thing you said and many other meaning
