El Mao
and
Row-full
in international pronunciation, lemao
la maŭ
L M May Yo
Le Miaou, mon frère. And with a loud HON HON HON after, while I twirl my moustache.
Don't think I've ever actually said it, but I definitely think "el-mao".
Mostly referring to how it's said in your head, though I have said it out loud in response to lame dad jokes.
Lmao - la mao
lol - el oh el
rofl - rawful
lmfao - la mao fao
"Mao?" You mean, "L'm-fayo," duh!
I say "laughing my ass off"
This.
A true purist. Respect.
Lmao = l-mow
Lol = lol
Rofl = r-o-fl
Lmao=La mao
Lol = lol.
Rofl/lmfao = nobody has said this in 15 years.
I’m Gen X, I don’t.
I might say “that’s pretty fucking funny” though
Cool
I just spell every acronym, so "lmao" becomes "l-m-a-o".
ellem mAYo
Le like French Mayo like the clinic
Because of an ancient joke between my friends and I before the turn on the millennium, I habitually pronounce "ROFL" as "ROLF". For starters, Rolf is a first name name here (equivalent of Ralph, I think). Secondly, previously mentioned in-joke revolves around "Rolling on lawn, farting"
Ate too many beans, now I have to go rolfing.
lmfao = el-em-ef-ay-oh (like that one ancient party band)
I'd forgotten they ever existed, wow. A true flash in the pan.
My answer is "El'-em ay'-yo", all the letters distinct but the AO get a little blended together. Southern US vowel sounds.
Music from the before-fore.
Lollin' on the floor
No lollygaggin'
