Kathylovescruises Posted November 8, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Okay- this is my tgird screen name ( I changed a couple times) so I am no "newbie. Is LOL "lots of Luck?" Lots of Love? Something eklse? It is used here all the time, but neither meaning fits many times. "Latitudes or Loungers?" Thank you. And, if it is Lots of Luck, why is it used so frequently? Kinda slow here...

daldog Posted November 9, 2008 #8 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Love our liqour...........LOL ;);) Now now - don't confuse people. LOL Seriously its "laughing out loud" or if u need something stronger: LMAO "rolling on the floor laughing my a** off" So this is the one I frequently don't get on CC? :o This is an embarassed face. Why do so many people start their posts with an embarassed face? Because they are shy? Maybe I do get it in this case, but ....... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnql Posted November 9, 2008 #10 Share Posted November 9, 2008 To the OP: also, in case you were wondering, and because it seems to be specific to CC or perhaps cruising forums: DH = dear/darling/d**n husband/hubby DW = dear/darling/d**n wife DS = dear/darling son DD = dear/darling daughter etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenaMH Posted November 10, 2008 #11 Share Posted November 10, 2008 To the OP: also, in case you were wondering, and because it seems to be specific to CC or perhaps cruising forums: DH = dear/darling/d**n husband/hubby DW = dear/darling/d**n wife DS = dear/darling son DD = dear/darling daughter etc. That's growing in popularity. I noticed it first years ago on weddingchannel forums. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp2001 Posted November 10, 2008 #12 Share Posted November 10, 2008 or if u need something stronger: LMAO "rolling on the floor laughing my a** off" From what I know, the abreviation of this sentence would be ROFLMAO, while LMAO means just ''laughing my a** off" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druke I Posted November 10, 2008 #15 Share Posted November 10, 2008 The language (and Acronyms) is constantly changing. Prior to the Internet, LOL meant "little old ladies" at least to those of us in the San Francisco Bay Area. It usually was meant as a term of derision, coined by the area's favorite columnist, Herb Caen of the SF Chronicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
