Ways to laugh

            Laughing is such an enjoyable activity. I mean why else would villains in superhero movies burst out laughing when their doom is near? To enjoy their last moment of course! OK I was joking about that. Genuinely laughing is the most sincere form of amusement.  Laughing is such a great activity that it has gained a large variety on the internet! Let me cite all the variants I can think of:

• lol: stands for Laugh out Loud. Everyone knows about this, let's carry on.
• lololololololol: For added emphasis on lol. This does not literally mean laugh out loud out loud out loud … but rather, it means several lol's in a row. This is also a great way to laugh in real life! Using lololololol (I pronounced it loh-loh-loh-loh-loh) to laugh will surely result in your friends laughing with you! And no, I don't mean laughing at you.
• lulz: A variant to lol
• lolwut: The fusion of lol and what. Are typically used in funny, confused situations
• trolololol: The combination of trolling and lolling. Indicates a prank has been made.
• lmao: Stands for Laugh My Ass Off. It doesn't actually mean your ass is detached from your body as a result of laughing for those who are wondering. It just means you laugh off of your seat.
• rofl: Roll on Floor Laughing, pretty self-explanatory
• roflmao: Combination of rofl and lmao, for added emphasis.
• roflcopter: The union of rofl and helicopter. Was rumored to originate from a forum moderator on Warcraft III.

•  lollerskate: The union of roller-skate and lol. Internet users are so imaginative aren't they?

            Laughing is such a great way to bond with both your offline and online friends. Similar to what Barlow stated on her book Blogging America, writers need the presence of a supporting audience to help them write better. You become that supporting audience if you send a simple 'lol' when one of your friends tells a joke. Showing your friends that you support them will surely aid in sustaining friendships.
