    Default Pronunciation

    What way do you pronouncxe words such as LOL And ROFL

    do you say Lawl or El-O-El?

    do you say Rawffle or Ar-Oh-Eff-El?

    or do you just say the longer version of each?

    i prefer the former in both cases

    El-oh-el and roffle.

    I don't say them in real life though. Anyone who does must be a robot!

    i don't say either of them, they are actions not words. when saying LOL i laugh out loud. Because i'm not an idiot.
    Your sig is too hilarious and witty, thus i have removed it to protect the minds of all forum goers

    Is say "El-oh-el" and roffle. lol just sounds funnier when you pronounce each letter separately. It's more fun to say it that way too.

    I read lol and rofl as what they stand for. I never think to say el oh el, it just comes to mind as laughing out loud. I'm so lame. D=

    lawl is leet.

    Sometimes for emphasis I will spell out the letters, but only online. The offline people that irritate me so badly saying 'oh my god, ell oh ell!, jay kay jay kay!' have seen to that. *twitches* I hate that xD

    lawl, roffle, lammo, wibberz, bribber, bibbus, bibble

    (although with that one flash movie, it's tons of fun to say doubya tee eff, mate!)

    wtp is mentally said 'what the pu' much in the way that I would truncate as 'what the fu'

    zomg and zomp are 'Z'oh my gosh' and 'Z'oh my pu" because percy is really difficult to say xD

    lol and roffle are quick and easy to say. el-oh-el and ar-oh-ef-el are just awkward. Not that anyone ever says them of course, it's just neater to think of them that way.
