Seeing as I am *coff* 97 *coff* years old, some smart sod saw fit to email me the following - thought it was hilarious (maybe my age who knows) so I thought I would share...

Everybody knows LOL is not one of those "kid codes", but a Finnish showing of empathy, made up for elderly people. It's hard to explain in English, so I'll just use this conversation from a nursing home's TV-room as an example:

"Old person 1: My friend just died
Old person 2: LOL
Old person 3: lol, that's horrible
Old person 4: I'm sorry
Old person 5: LOL
Old person 6: lol, hopefully he didn't suffer.
"

Ok, now that I'm through explaining that, I'm going back to being sick.

Kid codes? I really hate when people automatically assume only kids use "codes" like that. I know for a fact that adults use them too; Not to be cool in front of the teenagers, but because they themselves are nerds or internet veterans that probably grew up when they started being used.

Life? What's that? Can I download it?! 
^True dat.

It is common in both speech and on the internet nowadays. Especially "lol".

That's horrible, Skull, if I were present at a scene like that I would burst out laughing and the old people would hit me with their walkers.

Heh, 'lol' actually means 'fun' in Dutch. No problems in translation there.
