Definition of LOL:

Depending on the chatter, its definition may vary. The list of its meanings includes, but is not limited to:
1) "I have nothing worthwhile to contribute to this conversation."

Is used quite a lot

Check under 'S', and scroll down to SAMF, in Len's link.

Though I'm not suggesting you are one.

Re: What is lol?
Which would be OK if it was enforced Mick but isn't unless its a rude one.

Personally I don't see the issue, Acronyms have been part and parcel of Internet history since day one, Its like taking the ball away from a footballer.

Your happy for us to use smilies which are effectively the same thing (text characters to represent something ) and Roy even provides teh functionality in this forum that converts my text ones to pretty graphics, Bit of a mixed message there me thinks
