To me, once someone uses lingo such as "lol" in a text, online conversation, post, etc, it always kind of lowers their intelligence in my mind... I'm not really sure why. I seem to be the only person who doesn't use it. I guess I just say "haha" or "hehe" all of the time, so "lol" is unnecessary. However, the one Internet lingo, or whatever, that I do enjoy using is "omfg." Because I cannot possibly imagine the situation where someone would need to say "OMFG!!," though I shall try...
Scenario 1: a chat room
- Amerie: I think my mom is being attacked by a New York Transvestite!!
- Sven: OMFG!!! Oh sorry, I left my Pizza Bites in the oven too long... brb!
Scenario 2: a revealing dinner conversation
- Paul: Sweetheart, I have herpes and I've given it to everyone I've slept with for the past 8 years.
- Sherry: Well that's kinda rude.
- Paul: OMFG!! You have a Velosaraptor on your face!!
