Default 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 whad'ya reckon ??

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.

Come to think of it - it's 'Scandinavian' (or maybe Russian) blokes that advertise Smirnoff Ice just now

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:
