Jinx (personal jinx ten! Nice try) and probably a bunch more dated slang which I’ve memory-holed

minus-squareAernaLingus [any]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoOh shit, that reminded me of another one: talk to the hand!
minus-squareaxont [she/her, comrade/them]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 year agolol and lmao are quicker to type for more people than rofl on qwerty keyboard. That’s always been my guess. rofl is a little awkward to type It used to be a composite too, it was often typed out fully as roflmao. That’s what I think actually became lmao over time
