Pour one out for their dearly departed lovechild, roflmao.
We got old and rolling around on the floor hurts.
LMAO indicates something a person actually does, whereas ROFL isn’t really a thing people do, so its more of a meme than it is useful.
That’s my guess anyways. Like the latter is less mature because of that and so people use it less.
I hope you can get your ass reattached soon. Sucks when it comes off.
Meh, I’m not too bothered. I need more time standing anyways.
Shot me right back to 2005
Oh god, my brain has decided to read the “Rofl Copter” part with the intonation of that “Chicken Jockey” meme. That feels very wrong.

lol, lmao even is always pronounced phonetically when I read it
I feel disingenuous rofl these days
I remember when rofl was ROTFL
Rotflmao was always the form i saw. I was a PowWow chat guy in the mid-90s. That and Chathouse. A lot fewer acronyms back then.
I sound like the pepperidge farm guy …fuck me.
I was a fan of ROFLMAOZEDONG
That T was just too much! Bandwidth back then isn’t what it is now.
I remember that too. I also remember when 80% of conversations online started with “a/s/l?” and canines roamed the chatrooms like never before or since.
The days before profile pictures and text. Nowadays anybody can check my profile and be none the wiser.
I knew rofl in the early 90s and did not start seeing rotfl until the later 90s.
IALMMAO
I miss roflcopters
Sorry for party rockin
I think it was honestly the popularity of ROFL over LAMO that signed its death warrant. It became associated with Internet culture at the time. Usually the popular slang isn’t the ones that stick around. It’s the less flashy ones that trickle out of the subculture and latches onto the lexicon.
