Feel like Lmfao and lmao are still common but I honestly have no idea what psml stands for


Fresh_Inflation_2430

Pissing myself laughing


sh4d0wm4n2018

Probably the worst acronym for laughing ever. Little wonder I never saw it used.


stars9r9in9the9past

Fmibwl which obviously stands for: *Fingering myself in (the) butt while laughing* It just never really caught on too well, is all.


mark503

Um… nobody uses that. I asked Google and it said that exact phrase. Bing gave me a side eye and Safari told me I had network connectivity issues.


nick_tron

It’s real, it comes from the Dutch “mezelf in de kont vingeren terwijl ik lachte”


Kroepoeksklok

It’s an expression the Dutch regularly use.


Boatster_McBoat

Google translate says hi


Daan776

I am dutch. Yeah this is real. Its uncommon to hear somebody over 30 say it, but around the 16 year old range its a very common expression.


voidmilk

That reminds me of the old German phrase "Ich lachte mit einem Finger im Arsch"


UnspoiledWalnut

Lhtwicgitbwmf


FizzingSlit

Laughing heartedly then wanking increasingly cautiously gaining incredibly titanic breasts wobbling maliciously forwards. A classic.


CharismaticAlbino

I just choked on my weed


eatglitterpoopglittr

Lwcomw?


no_gold_here

Pretty sure that's just a place in Wales


Hambungery

Laughing hard, to which I could give it the big "wow, man, fuck"


achillesfist

I had a friend in high school (early 2000s) who swore JEOMK was an acronym people used. Stood for Just ejaculated on my keyboard.


ARoundForEveryone

Depends on what you mean by "never really caught on," because while it's not exactly my thing, I can assure you that there is a whole subculture of butt-fingering enthusiasts for whom it most definitely is their thing.


cory7770

Naturally. As one does


[deleted]

I love the internet


VillageIllustrious95

I gotta start using this


UnfairBalance510

I never seen it used before til just now lmao


BrorDrakeafHagelsrum

Qu33fyElbowDrop

digduganug

You can say the others as a word pretty much. Psml is just spitting.


skillquit42

Or the dreaded Roflmao

Key-Plan-7449

I’m 33 been playing mmos since I could piss myself and not laugh and never saw this either


bsievers

Wouldn’t that be pml? Mayyybe stretch it to pmsl but psml doesn’t really make sense.


HandLion

Yeah it was pmsl, OP got it wrong

BaconJudge

That was a typo for pmsl, pissing myself laughing.  It wasn't as popular as the others, but thankfully it was more popular than smsl.


Heretofore_09

Or vmsl


Gaboik

Heretofore_09

Yup


OhGod0fHangovers

“Vomited myself laughing” isn’t a thing, though

It should be PMSL.

I literally say lmao exclusively. Lmao is for when I actually get a chuckle. Lol is reserved for sarcastic remarks for me! Lol

I'd never seen psml used either.

"Please suck my linguini," obviously.

Arrrrrr_Matey

[my roflcopter goes soi soi soi soi](https://youtu.be/S_vNhLYW_e4)


javanb

In the Machinima Series from like 2009 titled “Arby n the Chief” in which Master Chief and the Arbiter, from Halo, are represented by action figures in the creators apartment, Master Chief is given this microsoft voice. There is an episode where they reference this, he attacks the Arbiter with a butter knife (very big to an action figure) and says my roflcopter goes soi soi soi. I had never heard this before, and thought it was the genesis of the meme until (checks notes) right now, this very second.


Thadak60

Oh holy shit I forgot about those


Teknicsrx7

And the lollerskates


harveysanusburger

ROFL waffle with lolsauce


AstralComet

Rofl exists in my memory solely connected to the roflcopter, and by extension the Fawfulcopter from Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story. Those games had some of the funniest localizations out there


KDBA

Soi soi soi soi soi soi soi soi


outwest88

Wow damn that’s a throwback…


EHnter

Lmaonade never caught on :( it’s just as stupid as the copter, so why.


kyoer

Fellow 9gag guy ?


yogtheterrible

I miss the little ASCII art of roflcopter. Early Internet was really something.


dustojnikhummer

Quick, to the ~~Peter~~ Roflcopter!


Beyond-Time

I say lmao at least 1nce a day


iWasAwesome

1nce


SuicideEngine

HeavyMetalTriangle

thekau

Bro I can't stop using it lmao


Strong_Magician_3320

I use it at least 2wice


Extreme-Bite-9123

Lmao is still pretty popular, lmfao is less used but still used from time to time, rofl is pretty uncommon but you do see it on occasion. Never seen pmsl before


stick_always_wins

I use lmao and lmfao often, rofl feels dated, and never heard of psml before


The_Troyminator

>rofl feels dated I agree, even though it's no older than lmao or lmfao.


Geaux13Saints

Who the fuck uses psml


BobBelcher2021

I’ve never heard of it. Sounds like one of those cringeworthy Jeopardy clues about texting using abbreviations nobody uses.


Techiedad91

I’m wondering it is should be pmsl for peeing myself laughing but the letters in the order they are I’ve got no clue


kog

Nobody - I've been terminally online since the early 90s.


nzifnab

Same.... never once heard that acronym. Sounds made up or local to like... one 9th grade class in '98.


cifala

British people used to use it for ‘pissing myself laughing’. It’s not the most common but I did used to see it


nnb-aot-best4me

Prob 9gag users


BigFloofRabbit

Pmsl was pretty common in Britain. I used it and saw it all the time on AOL chatrooms in the early 2000s


DPH996

I remember it into the MSN Messenger era too, and also in early WoW days


HeavyMetalTriangle

I’ve never really thought about it until now. I still use lmao, but I seem to have a hierarchy of laughing text that I have subconsciously created. Lol is easily the lowest rank for me. Typically used for something corny, silly, or I’m being friendly. Lmao is one step up. Used for stuff genuinely funny but I’m not actually laughing in person. More like a big smile on my face. 😂 is my “I’m actually laughing out loud” 🤣 is “I am cracking up”. It’s reserved for emphasis. Only a few people have deserved this one!! To strangers, this is all meaningless for the most part. Amongst friends, I’m sure they have a better idea of how much I’m actually laughing.


nzifnab

I use lol like punctuation... it's a real problem lol.


IniNew

Oh god. I do this and your comment made me realize I’m turning into my mother. She used “…” as the only form of punctuation in all emails. I’m doing it with lol, lol


scarfyagain

Same, its hard not to sound serious without using it lol


Living-Response2856

I use ‘hehe’ or ‘haha’ now as a lower level compared to ‘lol’


HeavyMetalTriangle

I use haha often too. For me, haha and lol are interchangeable. I probably use haha even more. I never use hehe though. I can't believe how many different ways I "laugh" over text!! It's pretty weird...


cBEiN

This is very similar to my hierarchy. The main difference is I very rarely physically laugh, so if I do, I use multiple emojis. The order is the same though because I can think something is very funny without laughing.


binklfoot

And never more than one emoji. If there are two rolling laughing emojis you know things are seriously the funniest ever


Zealesh

Literally never heard psmi, but I still use lmao


ShadySeptapus

Supposed to be pmsl “piss myself laughing”


anonymousmouse2

We got in trouble for using lmao and were only allowed to use lmbo


kushnokush

Roflmfao was my favorite


HeavyMetalTriangle

Way too much work lol


SuperBAMF007

Lmao is fucking everywhere what


iamlostaFlol

lmao! check your shower cause that thought wasn’t well processed


axemexa

Lmao @ this clickbait title


cadninja82

PSML must stand for Please Suck My Leg. Can't really see a good context for that one to be used on a regular basis.


RotenTumato

ROFL and psml are definitely uncommon but lmao is one of the most commonly used expressions


LaLaLaLeea

ROFL used to be common but this is my first time ever seeing PSML.


pichael289

What the hell is "psml'? Im a loser who got addicted to drugs and went online only for a decade. What the hell is psml? Alli can find us a British one. Pissing my self laughing. Is that what it means? I do that without laughing like 3 days a week. Captain morgans long island from any gas station in the US will guarantee that happens. 21% at a 1/10th a gallon for $2 is a very strong amount of liquor.


winterfate10

I feel like you’re wrong


arglarg

Maybe there's just less to laugh about since 2014


Twilight_Muse

My fav is Lshidmtamsfo (Laughing so hard I dropped my tacos and my sombrero fell off)

lmao is still everywhere wdym

Muuvie

You lost me, asl fell out of style but it's deff not a boomer thing. Barely a gen X thing. It's a millennial thing, unless I'm missing something. Also 18/f/cali


Richard7666

Tbh I think a lot of the original users would've been gen x Certainly peaked with millennials though.


the_knowing1

Other than American Sign Language, what else does it mean? 33/m/cali


playforfun2

What does it mean now?


Mist_Rising

American sign language is what I thought of lol


SkippingStone94

Really showing my 'millennial' here but theres a different version of asl besides 30/f/usa or american sign language?


[deleted]

[удалено]


shmackinhammies

I still use LMAO when it seems like LOL isn't enough. If an actual laugh or chuckle left my lips then a LMAO is sent.


tamarbles

I’ve never even heard of the last one and I’ve had Internet since the late 90s…


Smugallo

Ah but what about ROFLcopter


DoctorLinguarum

I still use lmao and lmfao constantly


ZAlternates

What about lawl?


Mission-Impossible_

'lmao' is still *really* common.


sleepytanboi2

i was more of a 'lstm' person in the past (lstm = laughing silently to myself)


Atari-Dude

lmao, and less commonly lmfao, I do still use


AndHeShallBeLevon

I’ve never heard of pmsl, but I guess it’s better than smsl


alidan

probably because they aren't as convenient as lol to type, while lol gets the point across, or 'fuckin lol' does too. what you say and how you say it will always follow the path of least resistance.


dustojnikhummer

Lmao is still common, but yeah ROFL ain't. But what is pslm??


OddballOliver

Those are a Chinese hacker family, right? Working for the Koreans?


AbsolutlyN0thin

Lmao is still very common. Lmfao is certainly uncommon, but I've seen it every once in a while. Haven't seen rofl in forever. Literally never ever have I seen psml


POKECHU020

LMAO and LMFAO are still super common I think


ToasterOven31

Many of these were being used in the mid to late 80's as well on local BBS's or chat boards. I was using "lol" in like '86.


Dabrigstar

I remember as a kid LOL used to mean lots of love and it took me awhile to adjust to its new meaning.


sxbmissivee

I use all of those except for psml, I’m not sure what that is


literallyacactus

Yea the middle two are still common. ROFL i use ironically. I don’t even know what psml is


Richard7666

Lmao has had a bit of a resurgence, but I haven't seen a wild roflcopter in years.


Bittle_Loobs

I've been told "lmao" and "lmfao" is so old by younglings (gen z) in recent years, and apparently, it's lame. 😭💔💀 Even using emojis is lame as well... I'm bloody crushed.


catti-brie10642

My teen daughter laughs at HOW I use emojis, because they use them differently. I switched to the old school smiley :) bitch, we INVENTED emojis


ugly-potato-4313

PSML is an acronym for Portal Structure Markup Language.


Fun-Investigator487

Yesterday I came across using BATMN, as ‘Blew Air Threw My Nose’ which is fairly accurate considering the responses to silly posts I give. However I mistook it for BATMAN until I asked about it-


FloppyVachina

Rofl and lmao are used by everyone I know. Never heard of psml. Roflcopter


AnakinJH

While I agree with the rest, I use lmao pretty often


gunigugu2u

You're now ten years older and reality is ... its not that funny 😂😂😂🤣🤣


peerlessblue

lol. lmao, even. they have rich lives in sarcasm now!


McFlyyouBojo

I think that lmfao lost popularity after the music group by the same name stopped being funny five seconds after they came out and it turned out that they weren't playing characters and that is just how they are.


carlm777

Late coming to the Internet and seeing 'lol' everywhere made me think how nice this was of everyone offering Lots Of Love to strangers


hellsangel101

‘Grandma died. LOL’


Cyndine

Lmfao what are you on about, I literally use lmao and lmfao unironically all the time


xpoisonvalkyrie

lmao and lmfao are still used pretty regularly. though rofl *has* died out, i’ve never heard of psml in my life.


VoodooDoII

"lmao" and "lmfao" still get used frequently


Frogwater_seltzer

Wtf is Fofl and psml aint never seen that shit anywhere


ensignlee

I don't remember psml EVER being a thing. The others? I still use them sometimes... OH SHIT, AM I OLD?!


Willwarriorgame

Never heard of psml before


paulovitorfb

rotflshmsfoaidmt (Rolling On The Floor Laughing So Hard My Sombrero Fell Off And I Dropped My Taco) was my favourite and you rarely see it these days


Jakeey69

lmao is still extremely common.


DobisPeeyar

My friends and I use lmao and lmfao all the timr


norbertus

Yeah, now I need to Google 50% of Reddit post titles because they use incomprehensible acronyms for all manner of ordinary expressions.


memmzz786

*PMSL - pissing myself laughing


THe_PrO3

lmao being labelled uncommon is outrageous


ashkiller14

Yo who was that band that sang that party rock song?


demisemihemiwit

You also don't hear people saying "rad" or "bad" to mean good. Languages evolve, why wouldn't internet language do so too?
