    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.

    "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?

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

    I feel like BRB kinda disappeared too. It’s like we took it for granted and one day it decided “you know what? I’m not gonna be back”.

    I believe it's because you can't stretch ROFL the way you do lmaoooooooo.

    The extra Os don't make sense as an abbreviation, but it's fun to shout it out

    ROFLMAO?

    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.

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

  • 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.
