Wojack doesn’t really belong in the mass extinction category since it is an evolution from the earliers. However Smug Wojack 2 and Tired Wojack are survivors of the earlier Wojack offshoots and Crying Nooo Soyjack is a survivor of a Soyjack offshoot.

This person Wojacks.

We should bring back the sad “OK” guy. That one has some panache.

Pour one out for their dearly departed lovechild, roflmao.

We got old and rolling around on the floor hurts.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 45 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

I remember when rofl was ROTFL

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I remember that too. I also remember when 80% of conversations online started with "a/s/l?" and canines roamed the chatrooms like never before or since.

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 8 points 3 weeks ago

The days before profile pictures and text. Nowadays anybody can check my profile and be none the wiser.

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

I knew rofl in the early 90s and did not start seeing rotfl until the later 90s.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago

That T was just too much! Bandwidth back then isn't what it is now.

[–] MJKee9@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Rotflmao was always the form i saw. I was a PowWow chat guy in the mid-90s. That and Chathouse. A lot fewer acronyms back then.

I sound like the pepperidge farm guy ...fuck me.

Cousin? They were conjoined twins, known by ROFLMAO. Only one survived the operation.

[–] PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Does anyone read el-o-el or ar-o-ef-el?

LMAO is definitely el mao for me.

I still use rofl because thats what iOS uses to autocomplete 🤣 emoji. It looks like lmao does too, but i always use rofl.

[–] simonced@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Rofl doesn't involve ass, that's certainly why it's not popular lol.

[–] treesapx@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

My guess is that the "roflcopter" turned it into a meme and memes often have lifespans.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Roflmao has ass tho

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

"rolling on the floor laughing" but i'm not. Things are funny, sure, but so funny I'm on the floor? Years pas between such moments.

"laughing my ass off" has a swear in it

need I say more?

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I laugh out loud every time I type out 'lol'.

Not sincerely, just one, loud, assertive...

Because then I'm not a liar.

I feel like BRB kinda disappeared too. It’s like we took it for granted and one day it decided “you know what? I’m not gonna be back”.

I believe it's because you can't stretch ROFL the way you do lmaoooooooo.

The extra Os don't make sense as an abbreviation, but it's fun to shout it out

I think the pandemic made everyone realize how filthy floors are.

[–] Somsphet@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago

I instantly read this in David Attenborough's voice.

[–] Credibly_Human@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

LMAO indicates something a person actually does, whereas ROFL isn't really a thing people do, so its more of a meme than it is useful.

That's my guess anyways. Like the latter is less mature because of that and so people use it less.

[–] adaveinthelife@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I hope you can get your ass reattached soon. Sucks when it comes off.
