LOL!
So this morning we had our Christian men’s group, from 1000 to 1100 mostly on Zoom, with a few of the brothers at times in physical locations, ranging from our Church down the road, to FL, NC and a few weeks ago South America.
Our current topic has been sarcasm, we are using the Jeffrey Bridges book Respectable Sins in our discussions. A very good study. On one particular item I had a small “r” revelation.
A simple item: “LOL”, of which ad nauseum usage started, I believe, pre-smart phone in the pre-historic era of the flip phones and in their dumb keyboards, LOL.
An example of LOL in the popular lingo: “Hey, did you see Bill? Oh, he didn’t put on a whole Lotta weight, LOL.” As one capable of unlimited sarcasm, which I can lamely blame on growing up on Long Island, I am guilty of this respectable sin, and am working on it, really (LOL).
In common day usage, somebody might say something rude, hurtful or outlandish followed up with “LOL.” When inserting this now staple of the popular vernacular, stick the tri-syllabic LOL eraser-phrase in there, and everything is fine. I didn’t really mean “the meal was really good,” (when it sucked) “LOL.” Maybe it’s time to let this thing go. LOL!
Capt. Bill-My pronouns are: Get bent, Sir, and Get me a beverage
