lol

Your selfie with your tongue makes you look stupid lol.

I’m just hanging around for important news. But if anyone sees this, I’m wondering about two things—two for now. I hope I get answers.

Why do so many people, younger mostly but not always, put in texts or messages “lol?” I’ve always thought it was passive-aggressive. It’s like, “Bless your heart.”

“Your breath smells like a cat litter box, lol.” The person may mean it, but it could have been a joke if the person it’s directed at is offended.

This is a bad example, but no one is literally laughing out loud all that much, nor figuratively. Why does every declarative statement have to end with “lol?” It doesn’t when I verbally talk to someone.

Now and then, as in seldom, I’ll read a comment, and I laugh aloud, literally. But I don’t respond, “lol.” I respond with, “literally laughed out loud.” You know, llol.

And what’s up with a somewhat older craze, but I still see it, with sticking a tongue out in a selfie? Females tend to do it more than males. I finally broke down and did a couple, and believe me, it wasn’t pretty.

But why? Is there something attractive about it? Alluring or sensual? I think it looks stupid.
