Like kytrad, another of our members thought i8t meant "Love On Line"...pretty similar. This became a problem when someone was telling a tale of woe and poor annamil put in a response which included LOL.......and it made no sense and made this sweet member sound really calloused and cruel. We all had a good laugh straightening her out and after a brief stay at the NYCFTTS she was allowed back in polite society.

No lolling on the liver though.

Deni, don't let them get ya down. Someone asks about every four or five months. It ought to be posted in the FAQ, and then we could chide people for not reading the FAQ. Hell, maybe it IS in the FAQ, I can't remember if I saw it there!

Anyway, how about you go read the FAQ and see, and if it ain't there suggest it, and then help orient someone next time around?

WOBH = Whale Oil Beef Hooked. Say it fast and you will get it. I think it may be Aussie in origin-- it was born in a thread I think.

Is LOL taken as a Mudcat name BTW?

I think someone ought to claim SBUAPAA right away.

Chicken Charlie - you oughta join the Alliterated Names of America Club at once. Then you could get to hang out with Lollie Lenya, Robert Redford, Ronald Reagan, Zeke Zelensky, and all the others at the annual meetings.

Snuffy--Don't forget Miss Lollie Lenya, who used to hang with old Lucy Brown. That was before Mac got back in town, however.

I know two people called Lol. One is really Lorraine, and the other is Laurence (Lawrence?)

It means "late on the levee", an old phrase which rounders used to employ back in the 1800's. Loosely translated, it implies that you haven't quite caught up with reality or are "out to lunch" or "a couple of beers short of a six pack", to use more modern expressions.

Does that help? :-)
