Lol, omg, idk

I've heard all three and all of them annoy me. It's not like you're saving time or effort, all of them have the same amount of syllables. Also, I don't really like the shorthand anyway, but they sound really silly out loud.

I gotta admit, I say OMG sometimes. I like how it sounds.

Okay, but I'd probably roll my eyes if I heard you say it - though, since I don't know you, likely not where you could see me. Some things just grate on a person, while other people like them, you know?

Ha, no worries, nonny! My friend rolls her eyes when I say it since it bugs her too. XD

Cool, thanks. I promise that I try not to do anything too sarcastic with anyone who might not realize that it's a least partly meant in humor. I know I have a few conversational habits that make friends and family roll their eyes (or groan or give me the 'Seriously?' face). ☺

So do they say EL-O-EL for LOL? I always pronounce it as one monosyllabic word in my mind, and I have said it out loud a few times, but like "loll."

I've heard both, but I was thinking about EL-O-EL when I wrote this.

God, you'd hate me, I say those all the time. Pronouncing 'lol' as "loll', 'omg' as 'ahmg', but 'idk' i just say the letters. I say brb too, pronouncing it as "birb".

I wouldn't hate you or anything. But I would grit my teeth when I heard them. I don't know why they bug me, I don't mind other acronyms and initialisms.

I use lol sometimes, but only ever as loll, never El-Oh-El. I have friends who like to make a lot of gently mocking jokes. Like, friendly ribbing kind of comments. And because I usually don't actually find the jokes funny, but I still feel the need to respond in some way, I find a very dry "loll" uniquely useful. I guess I could just say "ha" once, very dryly, and it would accomplish about the same thing. But I'm not used to saying "ha" when I'm not actually laughing, whereas I'm very used to using "loll" for situations where I'm not actually laughing, so.

In that context, both with the pronunciation and the way it's used, I don't think that would bug me quite as much.
