Is LOL a female thing
Just ribbed my mate for sending LOL to a girl by text
Now my understanding is that its only females that use this when either talking on msn, txting or emails
I feel its a girlie saying full stop

So what's wrong with LOL in a txt, chat msg or email?
Surely this is the minor abbreviation of laughter/finding something amusing before you get into the seriously funny expressions as follows:
LMAO
PMSL
ROFLMAO
etc
IMO it is not a girlie expression as I know lots of guys who use it

lol (get it
) why is it girlie? I agree WKD etc is girlie, as I sit here with my can of Red Stripe
Seriously though like Den says its only an abriviation and helps understand what people are thinking to what youve just said since you havent got a facial expression to go off

I speak it, 'LOL' around my mates sometime just to p*ss them off cause they aren't internet geeks like me
If I find something funny rather than laugh I'll sometimes just say 'LOL' calmly.

Didn't you once ask whether it was OK for a bloke to wear a thong under see-through white trousers, after you had bought a pair???

I think you'll find Stella is the drink of Belgians - who, incidentally, are all queer as well

The use of the word LOL is no good for rooting out puffs. A far better test is to see whether they have an earring in the puffs' ear. :nod:
