Gen Z is calling Millennials out for their disingenuous LOLs . . . but let’s be honest, “LOL” hasn’t TRULY stood for “laugh out loud” for a decade. So maybe we need something new, for more specific applications.
There’s a list of “new alternatives to LOL” online, and here they are:
1. LAL – Laughed A Little
2. LIMH – Laughed Inside My Head
3. DBIASW – Depressed, But In A Silly Way
4. WTHS – What The Hell, Sure
5. ACOOMN – Air Came Out Of My Nose
6. LBO – Laughing By Obligation
7. SC – Sensible Chuckle
8. LUT – Let’s Unpack That
9. LSIDC – Laughing So I Don’t Cry
10. TJNW – That Joke Needs Work
11. BTUIT – Bringing This Up In Therapy
12. AYF – Are You Flirting
13. CIAWW – Cackling In A Witchy Way
14. HBAT – Hanging By A Thread
15. IST – I’m Screenshotting This.
Clearly, these aren’t all INTERCHANGEABLE with LOL . . . the idea is just ushering in new internet slang to represent different, specific feelings . . . now that LOL is becoming increasingly meaningless.
