The Scottish version of LOL, which I see on facebook a lot, is 'PMSL' (Pishin' masel laughin'). My personal favourite is ROTCSMTAPMSL (Rollin' on the carpet, slappin' ma thigh, and pishin' masel laughin' )

In truth, for years now and way before text speak, I used to end my emails, notes and messages to family and friends with LoL (Lots of Love)! as did lots of my friends! It's only when text and computer speak for that matter took off that I saw it meant something else!

I think he probably signed of with 'B.U.R.M.A.'*..... <rose>
...actually I've never understood the use of an initialism like LOL if it has two opposing meanings that the context (there is none) cannot distinguish. Although I suppose saying one thing and meaning another is something that figures heavily in Camoron's rhetoric....
<doff>

*Burma the country is now called Myanmar. Perhaps it's time for a new acronym, hmm?

Do you believe that "Lots of love"?

The way lol is thrown around, would anybody think it means that?

Perhaps DC doesn't surf the net much.


Nice mediagenic smokescreen digression though, Beks .......

I wonder how anyone goes about loving Rebekah anyway, with her amazing disappearing self-interested personality.

NZ media refer to Myanmar but I thought British ones didn't. I think we out on a limb a little, as Burmese people themselves don't like Myanmar. But Burma is undergoing some sort of makeover, apparently, with the government pulling back on former cruelties.

Being rather naive I didn't know what the acronym stood for - or perhaps it's just that no one would be saying that to me, so I haven't needed to know it.

"Love Acronyms" were used in WWII weren't they....by soldiers who put messages on the back of envelopes to their loved ones and vice versa. As a post-war baby, in my early teens I remember the craze returned for doing this - well it did in my 'girl's only school - not necessarily to send missives to boys - but to other girls as a tester, until a boyfriend came along and then maybe to them! I don't know how many there were but SWALK, BURMA, ITALY, HOLLAND and NORWICH were the ones I remember as being popular. MALAYA, BOLTOP & CHINA were less frequentely used but EGYPT & ENGLAND never! :wub:
