That's the recording I was referring to.

Just for you, and our international friends: LOL = Laughing Out Loud ROFL = Rolling On (the) Floor Laughing ROTFL = Rolling On The Floor Laughing ROTFLMAO = Rolling On The Floor, Laughing My A** Off GD&R = Grinning, Running & Ducking This will serve as a basic introduction to common usenet/bbs/email abbreviations. I suggest you use your favorite search engine to search on the topic of "smilies" or "smileys" to get an almost complete glossary of internet shorthand. Enjoy!

Please put me out of my misery and > tell me what "LOL" stands for. Bill: Generally, it stands for "(I'm) Laughing Out Loud"... often in derision, but sometimes just because something strikes the writer as funny. The longest offshoot of this I've seen is ROTFLMAO (which of course stands for "(I'm) Rolling On The Floor, Laughing My A** Off"... but I'd invite any other submissions, as well. - -Kevin And, for the picky among us...as far as I know, since it seems that Bash & Danny don't use computers the way we do, this thread has no official Basia content... but, well, there you go... ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 21:33:45 -0800 From: "Ruth C.
