As long as it's not overused it is alright - I wouldn't think that a song that can make someone cry could be described as a "choon" though.

That song by Kenny Loggins (I forget its name) - thats a CHOON!

[MK Chris]

"loool", however, is perfectly acceptable. (I assume it's to indicate something that is funnier than "lol" but not so funny as "rofl".)

Someone on here (Bridgie I think) used to say "lolololol" a lot.

As is "whu". (whu = who. Brilliant!)

Yeah - and others which also don't shorten the word at all (which I can't think of right now, but I'm sure there are some.)

I often wish I had more to worry about than whether choon is spelt tune or choon or anything else.

We're not worried about it; 'choon' is obviously spelt 'choon', but as it's a made up word (or at least a bastardisation of another word) it's meaningless.

[MK Chris]

I don't worry about it, it's just annoying.

[Bonanzoid]

I think, in a similar way to "loooooool", that's where choon is from.

[foot-loose]

I don't think I have ever rofled.

And if I ever "lmao" then I have probably contracted leprosy.

[Bonanzoid]

Lmao's a bad one. Worst I've seen has to be pmsl though. *shudder*

[Vivienne]

what does that stand for?

[Bonanzoid]

Pissing myself laughing.

*shudder* for emphasis.

[Vivienne]

Oh, I see. Definitely worse than anything I can do then.

[foot-loose]

See, I can almost picture how one could end up in the situation where "pmsl" applies. But "lmao" is just wrong.

That said - hearing the bumpkins that phone up to Mills to tell him that they "laughed so much a little bit of wee came out" does make me cringe.

[Vivienne]

I don't like that one either, foots. But it's suitable for the average age range of Mills' listeners.

[claradooblue]

I don't even know what lmao stands for. I assume it's something to do with laughing. Who on earth makes these things up and why?

[foot-loose]

lmao = laughing my ass off.

Although I think "laughing my ankles off" is better.

[MK Chris]

I like this Bonanzoid fella.

[foot-loose]

Yup - seems like he may fit in well enough.

Strange, since he is from Aberdeen...

[Vivienne]

I like him too.

[Bonanzoid]

Why thanks. Who would've imagined that moaning about teens and their "silly speak" would pay such dividends?

[Bonanzoid]

Yup - seems like he may fit in well enough.

Strange, since he is from Aberdeen...

Forgot to add, what's wrong/right with Aberdonians?

*moves "The Best Sheep Jokes Book in the World - Volume 2" to one side*

not a thing, i work up there a fair bit.

Save it for the Welsh, foots.

Would it be any consolation if I said I was off almost all Glaswegian origin?

[foot-loose]

it's enough for the moment...

[catherine]

Jesus christ, don't you lot have anything better to chat about? Why don't you just start a thread and do your very own top ten most annoying abbreviations on the internet and get it out of your system.

[Bonanzoid]

Isn't that what an Off-Topic part of a forum is for? Trivial discussions. Damn, better get back to the heated philosophical debates.
