When I first started using the internet I thought that the expression " lol " was a person throwing their hands up in the air over their head. I had seen people making smileys and faces so I thought this was mimicking an action as well.
I even argued about it with a friend who said it was laugh out loud, I thought mine made more sense, lol. Ah those were the days!
Did anyone else think this way or was it just me?

cool post bro!!:)
i can really see where you're coming from, but personally i never thought that ^^ i was an internet-pro from the beginning!
That one's all you dude. But I almost never type 'lol', well, except then. :P
This is closer to what you used to think: \o/
This is great thanks, and keep up the good work.
Cheers
Oh! There's a picture of a drowning person sign that looks like that. Hmm. Found it: http://failblog.org/2010/04/02/epic-fail-photos-drowning-sign-fail/
cool story
haha, I thought the expression "throwing someone under a bus" was being literal.
Thanks for the comment.
i thought it was an insult!
Guess I didn't make that connection.
Great post! I'm following you!
most of the time i type lol but i never really laugh nor do i crack a smile. i just laugh in my head.
Great post! love to read this stuff, really
Keep up the good work!
Supp!
Just you :)
Dont feel so bad a friend of mine used to think it ment "lots of love"
i had a different font so l didnt look straight. |o| would have made more sense
only one thing to say: I lol'd
Thank you for this, it's just made me grin from ear to ear!!
My day is now complete lol
I didn't actually know what "lol" meant for a long time.One day i got curious and found out the answer from google.. as i have done with many other internet expressions
I like that better than laugh out loud lol
haha never actually thought about lol that way xD
Cannot be unseen...
lol vs \o/
never thought about it... pretty close XD
ahah...thats jokes
my mom thinks it means lots of love
lol I didn't think that, but I remember not knowing what it ment.
haha nope. I always knew it was lol.
yup, I think that's all you...
Dude that makes total sense. From now on I will see lol as that, which I think is better than the tired old floppity "laugh out loud". Also, thanks for your badass comments on my blog.
thats funny!
<3
I never thought that, but when you think something is one way and people prove you're wrong it's like woah
agree
nice post
Ah the days when we were internet n00bs.
Never occurred to me but I can totally see it. Especially with people using \m/ and such.
lol. I never thought that, but it's pretty cool to think of it that way.
i thought it was lots of love or lots of luck
cool man, sucks 2!
when i first started using the internet I used internet explorer.
lol, im simply taken back by your insight, i now see a stick figure throwing his hands in the air!
Lmao! Really you thought that?
>_> fail.
It's all good we have our own misconceptions we've made :)
I think I thought that too...
that is a clever interpretation - a bit funny though
Haha. I've thought of this even when I knew what it meant.
=O
