Chuckling into myself
Along with my girl Leelee, I am on a mission to halt the overuse of LOL. With this in mind, we are encouraging the world to use CIM instead. When I read something amusing, it is much more common that I chuckle into myself, rather than actually laughing out loud, ergo CIM.
The spread of LOL is so prolific now, its used as punctuation. People write LOL when I KNOW they did no such thing. Most damning of all though is the news that teens are not just using it online, but as actual VERBAL punctuation. Teen one says something funny. Teen two responds by saying LOL (the word, not its composite parts). I may be being over dramatic, but I do feel that this represents the beginning of the end of civilisation.
So, pass it on please. CIM is currently being used as far away as Australia. But we need 25,000 uses to get it recognised as a word. Get to work.
