A basic question...

[Alpha_9]

Okay, I'm going to sound like a moron asking this, being that I've been online for a while now, but I just haven't been able to figure it out. And I've been hesitant to ask outright because it's such a basic thing I see all the time, I don't want to sound like an idiot. But an eskimo must eventually learn what all that white stuff is. An Australian must eventually learn what those large-hind-legged jumpy things are. So I must bite the bullet and just finally ask the question:

WHAT IN SAM HELL DOES "LOL" MEAN????

Whew. I guess that wasn't so bad...

'*G*'? have to admit that i've never heard that before... i'm taking a wild guess here but maybe it means 'general'?

It means in my humble opinion, but with the holier-than-thou bullshit way people use it, it SHOULD be "in my head only"
