Anyone else do this?

Do any of you ever catch yourself verbally speaking internet slang?

I've noticed a few times when I'll say something like "w00t!", "teh", "j00", and once, I even said "LOL"...

This bothers me. :bloated: :D

Nope :hehehe: Yeah, me neither.

:huh: What kind of LOSER would do that anyway?!?! :huh:

:finger: :silly2:

I always imagine real life meetings with internet people having a lot of "L. O. L." and "L. M. A. O."

And someone at the meet will be quiet and just hold up a paper with ":)" on it.

And sometimes I almost say "sux0r" :o

As for me, it's not a regular occurrence, but once in a while, something like "roxor!" just slips out from nowhere, and since none of my friends are very internet savvy, they look at me like this: :huh:

I've caught myself more recently saying "w00t" :eek: It really scared me. I've called people "PITA" before, too, and they definately look at me strangely.

Mostly my spoken English is very different from my internet or even paper-writing English.

taranaki SHOULD WE CALL THE PARAMEDICS ?? ? ?

Haha! I was just about to say the same thing. I've never said it, but whenever I see something funny I always end up going "LOL" in my head :hehehe:

LOL! :D:D That's so true it's funny....

Me on phone with friend last weekend:

ME: So are you going to go to Nathan's end of schol year party or what?
FRIEND: Nah I'm goin' down to Taurunga for the weekend
ME: ahhhhhh w3aksauce d00d
FRIEND: What????
ME (EMBARRASED): Never mind dude......

So yeah it happens a bit- I wonder what the fuck is going on.....:(

I say "lol" all the time. Maybe this explains my lack of friends? :p

Seriously though, I do use "lol" alot. When something is mildly funny, but not funny enough for me to actually start laughing, I will always say lol.

I never say or even think "lol" as a word if I'm reading it...I always read it as and say it in my head as "laugh out loud"

Kinda wierd when I see something funny and say in my head "laugh out loud"

When I first went on MSN and Yahoo chat- I though lol was the word lull- as in to "lull about"- One time a girl I was chatting to said that her mum said lol all the time :eek: *cough* chatroom-slut*cough*:finger:
