i just make an ugly hahahaha that sounds out of breath
my gf makes me laugh so hard i'll start crying LMAO
well there you have it i dont say lol irl but on the internet i do but more "LMAO"
 
I strictly use it only with my close friends, otherwise I'll laugh like a normal person :p

In terms of actual pronounciation I'll say it like the bowl one I guess, but isn't that the same as the first "LAWL"??? So confusing o-o
 
I think it depends on the context.
One time I said "Lawl" and someone asked me what I meant, so I said L O L.
 
I never say it out loud to use it how it's meant to be used - if I'm going to laugh, I actually laugh. I find it really weird for anybody to say lol face to face, or outside of a text chat. But if I do say it for whatever reason, I pronounce it the same way as you'd say lollipop, or loll as in your head lolling to one side.
 
I just laugh if I laugh. If I hear people say "lol" in conversation, I assume they text a lot. It makes me cringe because if you simply say "lol" you aren't actually laughing out loud. I don't understand.
I read it as if it were being spelled out (L-O-L)
 
i say it like the voice in google translate does. like "loll" or something hhhhh. also sometimes in swedish i say "l?ll" which is. embarrassing. i dont say lol out loud like ever but . . yeah. in my head i pronounce it like that

I pronounce LOL as rhyming it with "bowl" but for LMAO I spell it out...

when i read lmao i read it as L mao (the letter L and then mao) hhhhhhhh
 
all of 'em except for lawl (reminds me of middle school) depending on what friend I'm with. I'm more of an lmao person tbh
 
A couple years ago I started saying "lawl" ironically a lot, and over time it unintentionally became more and more unironic.

i have never heard anyone in my life say it like it rhymes with bowl though what
