Ok, this is kinda embarrassing but what the heck! I hope you guys can help me out. You see, I'm relatively new to this internet thing and I need help with these two expressions: ROFL and LMAO. What I would really love :love: are two honest answers to my questions. What I think I'm going to get (and REALLY don't want :hot: ) are some incorrect half-assed attempts at humor! I would also like to know what RSL stands for.

If you can answer my questions HONESTLY I will love you forever! :love:

I think for that for going against the wishes of my first post, you are now OBLIGED to tell me what RSL stands for!!!

RSL?? Never seen it and I'm online a lot.

ASL however I see quite often. A/S/L its often put as well meand Age/Sex/Location

You response would look similar to this: 23/M/USA except with your answers.

TheAbominatrix, you have been busted! I checked the members list and discovered a Mr RSL that was formerly known as none other than "Rydias Secret Lover". Shame on you for attempting to lie to me! You owe me an apology. :D

Don't worry about it. If I knew you were going to take it so seriously, I would have gave you some love in the first place. You're really making me feel guilty now! Don't worry *takes hold of TheAbominatrix's hand* we can get through this. :love: :love: :love:

:lol: Maybe you're right Lindy. Perhaps I don't need to know these things if I do not intend to use them.

That's why it's best to use only xD or XD for those LOL/ROFL/LMAO/etc moments.

For more effect when using the exdee, add more Ds, like so in example.

Person 1: *tells joke*
Person 2: xD
Person 1: *tells funnier joke*
Person 2: xDDDDD
