tweet: Millennials use “lol” like STOP at the end of a telegram lol
tumblr response: REGRET TO INFORM YOU YOUR SON HAS DIED FROM TRENCH FOOT LOL HE SERVED WITH COURAGE AND HONOR LOL PLEASE ACCEPT OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES LOL
I’ve seen this happen before but with boomers who thought “lol” meant “lots of love”.
Tbf, the first time I saw lol at like age 10 (25+ years ago first time in an online chat) I also thought it meant lots of love :(
I’ve seen that with FTW where some people think it means ‘for the win’ or something like that
I definitely associate FTW with ‘for the win’ first. Now I’m heading to wikipedia to read the disambiguation page to see what else it means.
Edit: for the win, for those wondering, and fuck the world have wildly different meanings.
I don’t know if it’s a generational thing but I also read it as meaning “For the win”. It would need to be in a very specific context for me to see someone meaning “fuck the world”
Late millennial here btw
Big trans wiener?
Cause that is what it means
