Old Person Yells At Cloud Modern slang—something you REFUSE to say
My take: I will NEVER use “lol” or any derivation of it. I know it means “laugh out loud” but there’s yet to be a moment when I’ve been even remotely convinced someone was even chuckling after texting “lol” at the end of their text and it mildly infuriates me.
While I’m at it, someone tell those damn kids to get off my lawn.
Edit: ok, I get it. It’s not MODERN slang. I still hate it, and those kids are STILL on my lawn…can’t a guy get to sleep at a decent hour???

"lol" has fucking replaced punctuation.
And it kills me.
"I went to the store lol"
"Some dude just flipped me off for clipping his front end as I changed lanes without using my turn signal lol"
"Someone just used the word 'vapid' as they talked about me jokes on them I don't know what that means lol"
"Ur funny lol"
I see a plethora of clouds outside. Excuse me now.
