Wojack doesn’t really belong in the mass extinction category since it is an evolution from the earliers. However Smug Wojack 2 and Tired Wojack are survivors of the earlier Wojack offshoots and Crying Nooo Soyjack is a survivor of a Soyjack offshoot.

Oh god, my brain has decided to read the "Rofl Copter" part with the intonation of that "Chicken Jockey" meme. That feels very wrong.

I remember when rofl was ROTFL

Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 43 pts · 297d (2 replies)

I remember that too. I also remember when 80% of conversations online started with "a/s/l?" and canines roamed the chatrooms like never before or since.

Rotflmao was always the form i saw. I was a PowWow chat guy in the mid-90s. That and Chathouse. A lot fewer acronyms back then.

I sound like the pepperidge farm guy ...fuck me.

"rolling on the floor laughing" but i'm not. Things are funny, sure, but so funny I'm on the floor? Years pas between such moments.

"laughing my ass off" has a swear in it

need I say more?

Zozano@aussie.zone · 12 pts · 297d (1 reply)

I laugh out loud every time I type out 'lol'.

Not sincerely, just one, loud, assertive...

Rofl doesn't involve ass, that's certainly why it's not popular lol.

treesapx@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 297d

My guess is that the "roflcopter" turned it into a meme and memes often have lifespans.

Credibly_Human@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 297d (2 replies)

LMAO indicates something a person actually does, whereas ROFL isn't really a thing people do, so its more of a meme than it is useful.

That's my guess anyways. Like the latter is less mature because of that and so people use it less.

adaveinthelife@lemmy.ca · 13 pts · 297d (1 reply)

I hope you can get your ass reattached soon. Sucks when it comes off.

Well, after the rebrand, LMFAO had a few banger hits. I couldn't remember a single good song that ROFL brought out though.

its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 0 pts · 297d

I think it was honestly the popularity of ROFL over LAMO that signed its death warrant. It became associated with Internet culture at the time. Usually the popular slang isn't the ones that stick around. It's the less flashy ones that trickle out of the subculture and latches onto the lexicon.
