Do U think it's wrong (not morally wrong or anything) to use LOL to mean Lots of Love or does it just cause unnecessary confusion???

If the concepts of love and laughing out loud were to coalesce, I think the world would be a better place, so no.

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 18 April 2004 22:08 (twenty-two years ago)

indeed, N.

but we're trapped by romanticism in2 believing that love is necessarily tortured. FUCK YOU WILLIAM WORDSWORTH!

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Sunday, 18 April 2004 22:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Exit this romanticist shell, Robbie. Into the classical.

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 18 April 2004 22:11 (twenty-two years ago)

the classical and the romantic is a false dichotomy, imo, N.

I'm aiming for late-romanticism at the moment. a sort of degraded aesthete decadent guise. getting pleasure from the most pervers and artificial of sources...

You pervert.

"Après les fleurs factices singeant les véritables fleurs, il voulait des fleurs naturelles imitant des fleurs fausses. "

Pervert i am!

What does 'factices' mean?

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 18 April 2004 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

i think it means "fake".

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Sunday, 18 April 2004 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, I don't know what 'singeant' means, either.

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 18 April 2004 22:24 (twenty-two years ago)

if you need to abbreviate the sentiment of "lots of love" perhaps you shouldn't be saying it at all

LOL means Lands Of Lore.

― King Richard, Sunday, 18 April 2004 22:27 (twenty-two years ago)

singeant means aping (that doesn't look right. is it apeing? oh i dunno). pretty cool almost exact translation.

xpost

oh very well surface noise. i should only say lots of love with absolute gravity, perhaps accompanied by 20 red roses and a newly recorded album of gentle singer/songwriter acoustic ditties describing how deeply my love is felt.

i give love easily and shallowly.

i am bad.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Sunday, 18 April 2004 22:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, monkey.

Maybe people should only be allowed to use the word 'love' a certain number of times in a lifetime.

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 18 April 2004 22:28 (twenty-two years ago)

when i say it, it means "legs of lard".

ernest hemingway thought that men had only a set number of orgasms in their life. then they became impotent.

i like 2 use "in love" 2 mean "thought she was moderately pretty" so i'm gonna reach my limit pretty soon.

i wonder if viagra is an artifical orgasm replacement therapy.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Sunday, 18 April 2004 22:34 (twenty-two years ago)

That was a medieval idea, too, wasn't it? That you had a certain amount of orgasms and when you used them up you died? (Hence the "little death.")

Après les orgasms factices singeant les véritables orgasms, il voulait des orgasms naturelles imitant des orgasms fausses.

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 18 April 2004 22:35 (twenty-two years ago)

a real orgasm that looked fake. now that would be a site 2 behold.

night night U all.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Sunday, 18 April 2004 22:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Wet dreams, Robbie.

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 18 April 2004 22:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Hrmmm. I'm all for playing with language and communicating in private code as an expression of intimacy is one of the hallmarks and joys of intimacy.

But! If it is a *shared* foible, meaning "LOL" to mean "lots of love" between the sender and the receiver, that's great. But if one of my friends or a lover or whatever just started laughing at out at the end of every message, I'd start to worry.

― Super-Kate (kate), Monday, 19 April 2004 06:49 (twenty-two years ago)

see there's the issue: i just got so used 2 using LOL that i started putting at the end of all txtmessages and e-mails that I wrote (obviously only for people i felt a deep and deliberate great love for. so you all don't worry that i'm just making the word love a triviality in this commercialised world), and people got confused...

I admit my life must be small if i worry about this., but if i didn't worry about little things i would have nothing to remind me i'm alive...

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Monday, 19 April 2004 09:08 (twenty-two years ago)

what about actually saying "loll" when someone says something funny? that's morally wrong, right?

― Sym (shmuel), Monday, 19 April 2004 11:13 (twenty-two years ago)

that is morally wrong, unless UR actually and unforcedly laughing out loud while saying it.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Monday, 19 April 2004 11:15 (twenty-two years ago)

UR seldom laugh out loud.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 19 April 2004 11:16 (twenty-two years ago)

come on! does the slightest bit of PrinceSpeak get one into snidey corrections on this board?

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Monday, 19 April 2004 11:17 (twenty-two years ago)

i dunno ronan i hear mike banks is a prankster

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 19 April 2004 11:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought lol meant "laughing out loud", no?

― cream with that, Monday, 19 April 2004 11:19 (twenty-two years ago)

that's the rub cwt...

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Monday, 19 April 2004 11:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Copy that

― cream with that, Monday, 19 April 2004 11:22 (twenty-two years ago)

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Monday, 19 April 2004 11:23 (twenty-two years ago)

10-4 (CB Radio talk)

― cream with that, Monday, 19 April 2004 11:25 (twenty-two years ago)

ok, je comprends, je crois.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Monday, 19 April 2004 11:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Can I use my 'tu ponce' joke again?

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 19 April 2004 11:35 (twenty-two years ago)

oui.

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Monday, 19 April 2004 11:39 (twenty-two years ago)

It seems silly now.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 19 April 2004 11:49 (twenty-two years ago)

so lol doesn't mean "licking outer labia"?? shit, i thought i were turning all those AOL girls on.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

(and they all had a very flexible spine)

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 20 April 2004 15:50 (twenty-two years ago)

(and they preferred outer labia lickage than inner)
