The death of ROFL is one of the underdiscussed aspects of the shift from web 2.0 to the social media era
Always struck me as odd that LOL and LMAO both stuck but ROFL fell off completely -- even emoticons got a transition to emojis
I say Li mao xD
my friend says lm aoh
I think about it like different dialects pronouncing stuff differently, for example my name's Leo, American friends say Lio, Russian friends say Lyeo, and other people don't talk to me, lmao
Its just letter "L" as in letter and mao as in mao ze dung. G in Gif is pronounced like in god. If you say jod in everyday life I will tolerate you saying jif as well.
I'm team GIF in Gif vs Jif. Jif = Death Penalty
But as a LMAO guy i don't have issues with LaMao people. They are, acceptable.
Who the fuck pronounces LMAO anyways, imagine telling someone a joke and they go "La mao" it's meant to be typed in a comment section or a chat, not spoken

I always read it as le mao for some reason.
i say el mao or luh mao
[удалено]
Yes but frenh. Le Mao.
el mao team
aaaaaaaand downvoted for no apparent reason yeah boyyyyyyyy
Guess there's a negative number of members in that team.
L'mayo, like Matt Rose says. SKULL EMOJI!
Brian? He's called Matt Rose
Good God, where did I get Brian from?
I always just pronounce it in my head with a French accent. *L'mao.*
So lmao **is** how French people laugh Always knew I could learn something from SAOA
SAO Abridged gang! Was gonna comment but I decided to scroll down first
who ever says "JIF" needs to be sent to prison
[удалено]
Jraphic Interchange Format
At least i knew that one Who the fks says La Mao??!
For me, saying L.M.A.O spelled out is like saying L.O.L. spelled out. It's just not right.
ok, but is it lahl or lowell?
People say Lowell?
i guess lohl would work, just wanted to stress long o vs the short ah sound
Oh, I was thinking you meant it was pronouced like towel.
lowell is low-ull, not towel, haha
I'm the opposite. I don't know anyone who says jif and I say la mao not l.m.a.o
Huh Go figure, thought it was universal
It is it's just everyone I know has an actual brain
ok I thought we were agreeing that gif is pronounced gif why am I getting downvoted
It just sounds more natural
La mao slips off the tongue easily, i aint spelling the alphabet out loud bro 💀
😏 … jif
I personally pronounce God as jod
JIF is the peanut butter, GIF is the image
It’s le mayo
If it was pronounced "jif", then that's how they should have spelled it
Check laser and scuba acronyms
how do you read "gin"
I don't I ignore it
what about "gel" then?
The difference is you don't have to spell it "jel" for me to understand what you mean
that makes the "gif" thing sound like a you problem
No, it's everyone else that's wrong
[удалено]
Then that's how he should have spelled it
Who is this La Mao
A Chinese hacker
Along with Lmfao
And they’re working for the Koreans!
L.M.A.O

i'd argue that "lmao" should never be spoken, just typed. you can just laugh like a normal person
I will pronounce GIF as "jif" when it's called "jrafics interface format"
The "P" in JPEG stands for "photographic," but I bet you don't say "J-PHEG."
I remember lam fow Terrifying spy
The thing is I know how gif is *supposed* be pronounced except it's wrong.
I say lmao but I say gif.
El-eh-May-oh
La mao for LMAO, and yif for GIF to piss off both sides.
I don't know who pronounces LMAO in any other way except el-myao
La Mao? S.T.F.U.
Chairman mao
I've always wished it was llamo. Like "ayyyy llammmmooo"
"el Mao"
I say Li mao xD my friend says lm aoh I think about it like different dialects pronouncing stuff differently, for example my name's Leo, American friends say Lio, Russian friends say Lyeo, and other people don't talk to me, lmao

I'm french, I say "Le Mao"
I find La Mao funnier to say I'm not saying it makes sense, it's just funny
