Batboard

I see on many sites including battlabs the LOL.

What does LOL stand for?

I know FYI = for your info and BTW = by the way ect but what is LOL?

BYOB = bring your own bottle.

Maybe i need to get out more or something=good excuse for going to the bars(id tell the wife im listening for LOL so i know what it meant)

Im probably gonna get attacked by many of you on this one but ok go ahead i asked for it.

Thanx EKLB

hi,

LAUGH
OUT
LOUD

carter

or

Lots
Of
Laughs

No offense to you sir, but the question made me LOL.... But I guess that's a good question for non-web heads.

And just in case you see it, the more extreme version of LOL is ROFLMAO, which breaks down to Rolling On the Floor Laughing My A** Off!

It also stands for Land Of Lakes

Sorry , I couldn't stop myself

Or Lots Of Luck...but that rarely makes sense context-wise, either.

You call me sir=hey thats an honor.

Im not that important= we are all friends here on battlabs.

You can call me ERIC.

And whew what a relief my wife said you guys all meant LOTS OF LOVE.

Gonna have to get back at her for that one.

Thanx for informing me on the LOL = the curiousity was killing me just thinking about it everytime i saw it.

Glad to see we have a great bunch here on battlabs-i enjoy visiting the site to see what everyones up to.

Don't worry about it Eric, when I first "started" going on the interent and IM'ing my other buddies, they used LOL, and I had no clue what it ment. I felt dumb asking them, but, hey, you can't help what you dont know:) Heck, there are tons of "short hand" expressions that i still dont know

KWIM ? (Know What I Mean)

Its actually "Laughing Out Loud"

And grossly overused by certain members.

I agree with Eric, this is a good bunch, and I'm proud to be a member. As such, I refer folks here frequently.

As for not being important enough to be called "sir," I tell folks who call me "sir" that I'm not OLD enough to be called sir! That usually gets 'em!

Be well guys,

I think it was in Full Metal Jacket but...."Don't call me 'SIR' I work for a living!!!"


And since we are on acronyms....

LOLFDGB - Little Old Lady Fall Down Go Boom

FOWL - Found Outside With Luggage (Can go with the last one)

SOSDD - Same Ole Sh*t Different Day

PIMP - Peeing In My Pants

ROFL - Rolling On FLoor Laughing (Can be used with PIMP)

DRT - Dead Right There

AST - Assuming Room Temperature

ABC - (My personal Favorite) Ambulance Before Carry

Sadly I have a whole book full of real and not so real acronyms heard around EMS. My wife although has written a whole PreHospital Care Report in all acronyms once. That was quite the challenge. I heard the nursing staff took 4 and a half hours with a medical dictionary to decipher it. I'm not sure who was more bored. Her or the ER.....

and according to some EMS people ive had the pleasure to talk with.

SOB means short on breath not =well you all do know the other.

EKLB

Yep, SOB does mean Shortness of Breath.

I had an interesting experiance with this one. While transporting a Pt. (Patient) to the local hospital we were making the patch in and I made the comment, "Pt. states he is a little SOB." Needless to say this didn't go over very well with the Pt. in the back with me. While he didn't understand the right way it was needing to be taken, He started calling me names and I really didn't pick up on why he was calling me names intill we made our delivery to the ER and he told the Doc that he should report me cause I called him "A little Son of a B!^ch." It was then that the Doc said, "Ummmm.. Sir, SOB means Short of Breath." The Pt. Blushed a lot and then apologized to me for using such language, he usally doesnt talk like that!!

LOL is an acronym, and it is one that SPIOATEPTMAIIWTS.
