This is a question Amazing displays of ignorance

Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

In general:
"Lol" isn't a word, it's an abbreviation. And when you say it out loud you are, by definition, both lying and being idiotic.
The plural of fish is not "fishes". It is NOT cute to say it.

It can be fishes if you're talking about plural species of fish, not just plural individual fish.

There aren't people who actually say 'Lol', are there?
Really?

In a crazy twist of fate, this has actually made me 'Lol'.

Yeah, I know quite a few people who do it.

Dear God I had no idea.
It's enough to make one simply 'roffle' with mirth, is it not?

"roffle" got me lolling
but not enough to rof.

Surely...
in a post ironic sense?

One of them does
The rest of them are absolutely serious, er, figuratively speaking. I asked one about it and they maintained that it was a real word as "It's in the dictionary, isn't it?"

Wat een lol.

I only say LOL out loud
purely to piss off my teenage daughter.
Then when she has an eppy at me I usually say 'It's only a word...OMG'..... Then she goes totally apeshit.
Job done!

haven't heard that word for years. :)

I know people who say ROFLMAO loud.
They pronunciation it as ROLFMAO.
Temptations to facepalm are suppressed.

I've heard ROLF-LA-MAO. Disturbing
(bolshevette, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 19:14, closed)
Nor is 'lol' a form of punctuation
Yet I see it being used as such all over, even off-internet. Sad.
