“lol” was not a thing yet
Wrong, we rofl’d and lol’d on our BBS chatboards in the 80s.
Even lmao if we had to
Lol is used since the mid-80s; the Oxford English Dictionary gives an example from 1989. It’s older than the WWW.
Poor kid though it’s about League of legends
A/S/L?
🤟
It’s not much, but it’s honest ASL.
“Dave Barry in Cyberspace” was published in 1996 and contained a list of abbreviations commonly used on the Internet, including “LOL”.
I used it for AOL/AIM. back then it was “lots of love” so when it started changing and used in texts I was confused, lol 🤔
But it was laugh out loud before AOL/AIM existed.
