(Pssst…writing prompts below).
I’m kind of a Word Snob because try as I may I simply cannot get behind LOL and FTW and muah and woot and much more.
I’ve done my darndest to avoid ever typing LOL because even when I think something is REALLY funny, I’m rarely actually laughing out loud. Especially if I’m sitting and reading and you’re not Chelsea Handler.
In addition to LOL and it’s variations, I also hate FTW.
For the win?
Really?
Are you Paula Abdul?
Are you shooting both hands in the air and shouting “touchdown!”
No. You’re not.
But my least favorite word is Woot.
Watch what happens when Woot is used in real life.
(If you can’t view the video you can find it here.)

I’m not too keen on “woot” either, and to be honest, when I see “FTW” the first thing I usually think is “fuck the world.” I guess my curmudgeony is showing.
That sentence alone speaks volumes about you and just totally cracked me up.
I DEFINITELY think “fuck the world” as well!
Why has this double meaning never occurred to me!?!
I think Fuck the world also. I had a friend that kept posting FTW and I couldn’t figure out why she was saying fuck the world after telling us good things that happened in her life every day. I was thinking she was emo or something. The only reason I caught on was because she actually yells “For the win!” in real life as well.
But… did you LOL?
Ahum…. then here my confession. I actually thought it was what the fuck backwards… LOL
For the life of me I couldn’t firgure that one out. In my defense: I’m hearing proper or not proper, accented in many varieties, Dutch around here every.single.day.
So. Counts. Right? Tell me that it counts!
You mean it really doesn’t mean “F*** the World”? Seriously? I never considered anything else. Who knew? Clearly, not me!
Wow! I have always thought it meant f&$@ the world! Learn somethin’ new every day!
I’ve never used the word. Nope. Not on my blog. Not in real life.
But I have seen it once or twice out there in blog land.
This makes me happy Matty. You just keep being you and don’t let those wooters influence you.
Where’s the petition? I’ll sign it.
I, too, have never used LOL. And what’s funny is, some of my older relatives use it in e-mails, and I’m sure they think it means “lots of love”. And I can deal with that…. but I’ve still never used it!
Bless their hearts. I like that better.
My mother-in-law thinks it means “lots of love” too and even after my husband told her the meaning after seeing her use it inappropriately on facebook, she still does it!
She’ll say something like,
“So sorry to hear about the death of your grandmother…lol”
Ok, Diane, that’s hysterical.. I mean, not really in the context you then used it in, but yes, really… simply because of that context.
Who knew technology could create so many new ways to commit a social faux pas?
Okay, now, I actually DID laugh out loud when I read that.
So can I put LOL?
I admit I use LOL. I have never used WOOT or ROFLMAO (until now)
I hate the following:
:) (or any other facial expression) – I do not look like that when I smile.
24/7 – why not say ALL THE TIME?
Texting abbreviations hurt my soul. The way it has invaded written language wounds me deeply.
ur – is typing the “yo” as the first two letters THAT difficult? If so, get some speech recognition software immediately.
The Boy is enamored with LOL Cats…just shoot me. ‘I can has cheezburger?’ – makes my teeth hurt. He talks like that damned Happy Cat all the time…it drives me nuts.
Let’s take back the English language before the little children think that crap is normal.
Thank you for providing your forum.
I’ll admit I am an emoticon over-user. I find I fall back on :) when I’m being particularly sarcastic and I’m afraid the reader won’t pick up on it. I’m totally over the top though. I admit to this. I just can’t stop.
I Can Has Cheezburger hurts my heart to read. Perhaps that’s why I don’t visit the site. The title alone is painful.
Nice post – the video takes it to another level. Nice to start the day with some humor.
Thanks for watching it!!
I’ve sometimes used “woot” but only facetiously.
I haven’t watched the video because I’m at work, but are you driving while recording this? Be careful!
I am. It’s the only time I find solace. But most of it was filmed in my driveway.
I have never been a “woot” girl. Ever. But they are out there. They often travel in hoards. I’ve seen them. I’ve heard them. I usually get a little nauseous.
No clue what FTW means. I am guilty of a few LOLs though.
Fab video–made me LOL but not quite ROFLMAO.
Cheers.
I recently used LOL when I tweeted from the SITS Girls account and I have to say…it kind of felt good! It cut the tweet down to 140 characters, it was fast and easy…but I’ve been fighting it too long to give in now. I can’t become a regular user now. I just can’t.
Oh, but you will. *cackle*
However, you know it’s gone entirely too far when you do what my sisters do and actually spell out what it would sound like pronounced.
For example.. When a person types LOL, it means that they laughed out loud. When someone else describes it, it may be that the person LOL’d. For my sisters, it is a first person, self-descriptive role-playing sort of thing that has turned into them typing “lawlz.” They also say it. Out loud. In public.
Don’t get me started on “rawfulmayo.”
No see the “woot” DID work the fIRST time, the problem was that you repeated it. lol.
I’m laughing…it WAS the repetition that killed it, wasn’t it!?! I’ll work on that!
The woot will stop here too . Not that I ever used it . . . I will just join the STW (Stop the Woot) movement.
Also, the LOL and other abbreviations? In my family, they have been horribly misused. HORRIBLY! I posted about it here . . . http://astonesthrowfrominsanity.blogspot.com/2010/09/back-to-blogging-mom-is-down-with-opp.html
or here . . . http://astonesthrowfrominsanity.blogspot.com/2010/02/laughing-out-loud-and-otherwise.html
I’m would not say I’m a wooT girl, but I do use the occasional “wooooo”. Yes, I really do. I’m not sure what I would exchange it with.
Honestly I think wooo is okay. And so does Vicki from the Real Housewives of Orange County. So I think we’re good with that.
There is an entire How I Met Your Mother episode about Wooo girls, they are in a class all their own. Totally different from woot.
You are killin’ me….love it, I also hate, “Give me a shout”…that doesn’t work either
Give me a shout!
Oh dear.
I can honestly say those words have never left my in that order.
You made my day. So so so so so perfectly awesome.
Are all forms banned? Because I think there is a place for ‘Woo!’ or ‘Woo Hoo!’
What say you dear princess?
I’m a Woo Hoo girl myself. Usually a very quick woohoo at that. I think those are fine.
Because I use them.
That’s the standard we’re living by now.
I am a self-admitted “woot” girl {on the computer}, maybe “holla” too, and I never say that in real life. You may have a point.
Loved this post and video, you inspire me to vlog:)
I’m glad you’ve come forward Cari. It’s only through admitting you have a problem that you’ll ever be able to do anything to help yourself. The first thing I’d like you to do is start leaving off the ‘t’ in your woot.
And actually that’s the only thing I’m looking for here.
Love the video! I agree, woot is obnoxious. I thought FTW meant something else entirely. I guess that means I have a potty mouth even when I’m reading.
You give good vlog by the way (and note I did not use btw).
I too hate woot, LOL (and all derivatives) and all other short-hand slang. It may have been helpful back when texting was new and no one had a full keypad. If you don’t have a full keypad, please just don’t text. You are either too old to text anyway or you are just embarrassing yourself with your tap, tap, tap (for just one letter).
Down with WOOT!
tap tap tap for one letter…are these people still out there!?!? ;)
Yup… I hereby humbly ask for donations to help this abomination out of my world. Starting: NOW!
Golly. i always thought FTW was “F*ck the What”. like a variation to WTF. (except not as rude??) Another one you may enjoy is “SQUEEEEEEEE!!!” because you can just hear the high pitched valley girl come out in all of us.
have a great day! :-)
Oh dear Lord Sherri…I do believe you just came up with round two of the Down with Internet Slang Movement.
I’ve actually had email discussions with friends about the word Squee. It has got to go!
Ok, I am an admitted woo/woot/woop girl. I say them in real life as well as yay excessively. I only use FTW when I’m expressing how awesome something is with limited space. One thing that gets me is instead of hahaha, people put Bahahahaha. Really? Do you physically make the “b” sound when you laugh? We should do what Demetri Martin says in his comedy bit and instead of LOL, write LSTM (Laugh silently to myself).
LSTM, brilliant and fits my personality so well. Thank you
Thanks for the laugh this morning! I needed it after cleaning up dog piss at 5:15am.
I am a Wahoooooo!! girl myself. What do you think about that?
This was HILARIOUS. Woot! ;)
Hi, my name’s Alicia and I’m a “wooter.” No, just kidding (or, jk)! Love this vlog! I have run across some “wooters” in the blogosphere. I happen to really like these people, so I will continue to talk to them. However, I don’t know that I would use the word myself. When I picture people saying it, I picture the emphasis being a little different than in your video. Kind of like if someone were to say, “Say what?”
I have thought about unfriending people for LOL…it irritates me to the core…
but how lame am I that I don’t even know what FTW stands for…
I do admit though, that I am a holla kinda girl…
Am I the only one who had to google woot? And I still don’t quite get it. But if the gamers invented it, clearly it is above my sad little brain.
It is annoying and I support your cause.
Do you all remember the episode of Modern family where Phil thought WTF was why the face? Wonder what his take on FTW would be?
Woot woot woot!
Sorry, couldn’t resist. You’re right, it doesn’t work.
I never used LOL til I started blogging. I guess hahahahaha seemed a little excessive? The rest, LMAO, ROFL, FTW – hate hate hate.
Your vlogs are awesome by the way.
I am completely LOL-ing (take that!)
I’m also a WOOT! hater, but…. I’m a Woot.com lover… and I would LOVE to see how the smartasses over there would respond to your down with Woot movement.
This could be fun to watch…. :)
lol, I’m with you 100%! not a word in my vocab!!
haha! You are so right. The word “woot” doesn’t work.
And well LOL is kinda annoying…along with rofl….cuz you are right, am I really rolling on the floor laughing? Well…Nooooooo…
Love this video.
i’ll think of a new word to use when we are excited…
how about woo hoo!!!!???
I have rolled around on my bed laughing while reading a Chelsea Handler book.
This is freaking hilarious! Just because of this video I will go to woot-users anonymous and be done with it. ;)
OMG I am *so* ROFLMAO and LOLing at the same time! Seriously though, this was hilarious.
I’m not much of a “Woot” person either. Twitter is making me a bit crazy…I’m really having a hard time with some of that language.
The only time I use “woot” is in regard to saving money at woot.com… :-)
Very funny! And this is a movement I can get behind. You need to start a foundation or something. Society for the advancement of people who don’t woot. SAPWDW?
Hi,
Just surfed in from a Facebook Update on SITS Girls page, and this is hilarious! I couldn’t agree more. I have never said, written or thought the word WOOT (well, until now…). It’s just weird, and you can definitely consider me part of the movement!
Down with WOOT, FTW!
What about OMG?! I will freely admit that I use LOL all the time. That’s usually because I am Laughing Out Loud though. I’m also allowed to use ROTFL, because I am well known to laugh so hard that I fall on the floor on my back rolling around like a turtle while gasping for air….That’s me though. Never in my life have I ever said or written Woot. What is that? Your video had me gasping for air with my stomach clenching in fits of laughter. I didn’t want to offend you and say ROTFL…. :) You’re awesome.
It’s probably too soon for me to confess my love for you, but you definitely had me at “The Woot Stops Here.”
To this day, I still laugh about our conference call when Woot was thrown in for added effect.
It is amazing we got out of there alive.
This was BRILLIANT!!!!
LOL!!! And I mean it I really am laughing out loud!! This is sooo funny. I’m new to blogging and have recently been seeing all these terms you’re talking about and I totally do not like using them at all. Have recently gotten used to Lol though. I still don’t know what WTF means, it’s not “What the f&%k”, is it?
This is great! I agree but actually have never heard “woot” until now! You’ve ruined me! Oh and I actually was with my sister and mother late one night {you know when you are up late and laugh so hard at everything that you hallucinate} anyways… I actually fell of my chair laughing and rolled on the floor because I couldn’t get up. But I agree and hate ROFLMAO, LOL, WTF, and all those other things. You are too funny! Thanks!
I was laughing so hard….there were tears rolling down my face. Seriously, I love this…..
I wish LMAO really did work when something made me laugh, because all this exercise I do has done jack.
I’ve recently made the switch from LOL to haha because I found so many people find LOL offensive/annoying that I started feeling that way too! That video cracked me up! I had to muffle my giggles at work. Damn I wish I lived closer to you. I would totally want to hang out with you. Umm, not in a stalker-ish way at all.
Oh no! I use WOOT and lol and :0) a lot. I mean, really, a lot. What about Woo Hoo! in real life? Because I totally say that when I’m really excited about something. Like, “I won the lottery WOO HOO!” (I really didn’t but that is what I would be like if I did.) OK I give up.
Down with WOOT. lol OOPS! Sorry, force of habit. :0)
Oh, I did it again. Darn it!
P.S. I’ve actually never heard of FTW but how about this:
FTW: Fight The Woot!
hahaha! I’m one of the woot girls, but I guess I like to shout “whoo!” better! I loved this post! Especially the video! Too freakin funny! :)
-Samantha
I admit that I use LOL. I’m a lazy typer, and it’s easy when something is funny. What I can’t stand is ridonkulous and other variations of normal words that sound like they were made up by someone with one brain cell knocking around their head.
Do I type LOL here? Probably not. It was funny but I didn’t laugh out loud ;).
So…anyway…yeah, I agree with you, I hate “woot”. Especially when it’s overused and then coupled with “raise the roof”…oh no, please.just.stop.
The irony in all of this is that I just used “woot” for the very first time on Twitter this weekend. Not sure why, it just happened and now I’m terribly ashamed. Although I’m fairly certain I was using it to make fun of myself, but still. I’m going to go flog myself with a dictionary now…
I use them all…but only because I’m a closet gamer geek.
You know I’ve have refused to use LOL ever.
But I may be guilty of a well placed “Woot” in a tweet… NEVER in real life.
You are hilarious.
I’ve have? Interesting….
You kill me! Once again, you have made me laugh out loud. Oh – I guess I could have used the acronym instead! I’ll spare you. I’ll have to share this post on my FB page!
I love this! I don;t like woot either. One that drives me crazy is when people are saying something they are eating and they type nomnom. I do not make that noise when I eat! (confession, I almost put down lol)
I use and love LOLFRY.
(Laughing out loud, for real, y’all)
Please don’t break up with me.
Technically FTW could very well be Fuck the Woot.
I wish LMAO really worked, because all the exercise I do is doing jack.
See? I’ve written this twice (age has left me forgetful). I even laughed the second time I read your post. My ass? It’s still here. *sigh*
lotcl (laying on the couch laughing) you can borrow that – but I know you won’t. Never used WOOT or FTW but I do like woohoo. Another phrase I can’t stand in real life or in writing “my bad” – I just cringe. Love the video.
a) you’re gorgeous
b) you’re a vlog inspiration
c) I think the hard part is the T on the end. Though I’ve never used it in real life, hearing the “wooT” really pushed me over the edge of “someone make this stop.”
If I’m using short hand in a text, I tend to go with SOL (snort out loud) because that’s really what I’m doing. I’m actually doing a snort/guffaw thing when I read a funny. But, since I do text with a full keypad, perchance I shall work on entering all of those damn letters.
I have never once in my real life or computer life used the world woot. I am an offender of the LOL though!
I learned something new today – I honestly had no idea what FTW meant. As for LOL, guilty. I use it liberally and often. Even if I’m not laughing out loud, it’s still the most accurate way I can think of to describe something that I think is really funny. Other than to say, “That is really funny.” Which doesn’t really ring too genuine, you know?
As for woot and holla and words of that variety, I’ve come to terms with the fact that I just can’t pull them off.
Oh, wished you had written(vlogged?!?) this post much earlier. I am a self confessed LOL-er and cringe every time I use it because I know I don’t laugh out loud. I just thought that was the way to express finding something really funny or so. Oh well. I’ll go and better my life now *hanging head*
Plus: 140 characters are still not a lot at times. So I do use 2 instead of to, two, too when I need a couple of characters off. What about that?
Thanks for your entertainment, it made my evening!
Wow, I’m just intrigued at how much eConversation has been generated over one word.
I’m guilty of LOL’ing it up but “Woot?” Never!
Hilarious! And I did laugh out loud a little bit but I did not get down on the floor and roll while doing it.
FTW = For The Win? Huh. I had no idea.
Now LOL I do use when I literally Laugh Out Loud. Which I do, a lot. I’m an easy laugher. Not proud of it, but it’s true.
Another word I use… snort. I “snort” when I laugh. Again, it’s true. Again, not proud.
I do not ever roll on the floor laughing though. Nor have I ever laughed my ass off. Though that would be handy from time to time.
You? I have fallen in love with!
I don’t even know what to say about all the Woot’s and the LOL’s, etc. I’m pretty old and out of that loop of shortcut language. Heck, I’m still saying, “bitchin”. All I know is, I live for your vlogs. I wish you did one every day because they make me happy. Woot. Sorry…
oh my, have I mentioned lately that I love you? I have avoided typing LOL (until now) for many of the same reasons…
and honestly – until today I didn’t even know what FTW meant… I usually just avoid ANYthing that starts with F… just in case :)
and “woot”… to me it’s a sarcastic “woot woo”… and that I usually avoid typing (although I actually DO say it) just because I try desperately to HIDE my sarcastic self behind my outwardly smiley personality…
oops, guess that hasn’t worked out too well for me, might as well say “woot woo” a little more often :)
I thought we were friends….and then you did this post about all of the things I do that annoy you…and now, I’m crying in my pillow. ;-) I seriously use Woot and LOL….it’s a problem, I don’t know how to stop. But, I’m now inspired to quit because I can’t quit you. Ok…that just became a weird Brokeback Mountain quote moment….
I always wanted to know what FTW meant, so thank you. I cannot imagine a time when I will need to use this, maybe I’m getting old…
And I have to tell y’all that this old fogey Southern gal cringes when she see or hears the f word. Sorry – that word’s just never been in my life, and at this age, I’m fighting tooth and nail to keep it out!
Ok, so at the risk of being the one for others to mock….yeah, I’ve used woot online. But I’ve never used it in conversation.
And I’ve never really thought about why.
And seriously, your video shows EXACTLY why. It really does sound dumb. I actually shed a tear laughing about it when you were rocking out in the car. Oh God. Ok, well…you just killed one woot-er. :-)
You seriously crack me up!
I am NOT, however, rolling on the floor laughing, or (quite unfortunately) laughing my a** off!
Don’t understand “woot”- never have; thought it must be a regional thing from somewhere other than the southeast U.S.
I do use LOL, although most recently on my 7 year old daughter’s iCarly birthday invites. That’s okay, right?
So- count me in! Down With Woot!
Can we make that DWW from now on?
Just kidding :-)
This is hilarious.
It’s also about time someone said something about this ridiculous word.
I honestly didn’t know what it meant when people were posting it on FB and blogs.
I’m also not a fan of FML (f*ck my life).
Really? ef you life?
However, I lol all over the place.
i’ve never heard wtf b/f but use lol (b/c i DO) all the time. I’m a nurse. if it weren’t for all our abbreviations, i’d neverget any charting completed!
i don’t think i ever heard woot until last year but it doesn’t really match “me”.
my problem: i don’t know how to do twitter w/o using LOTS of abbreviations! as it is, when i have something to say, i rarely can get it in. i hate all the goofy misspellings of words that have evolved from texting, etc. but after 60+ years of adjusting to all kinds of things, I decided to adjust to this too. of all the things i’ve had to get used to, it is fairly minor really:)
Actually, I usually am laughing out loud when I type LOL. I’m a total freak.
Hi, my name is Theresa, and I have ‘Wooted,’ More than once.
I admit I was powerless over Woot—that my life had become unmanageable.
Phew, step 1 out of the way…
The video is hilarious, I must say though that I really did LOL. I know how much you dislike that term! Also enjoed how you said who really rolls on the ground laughing…. To funny:)
I promise to do my best not to use WOOT…..That said if it’s a Girls Night Out and I am drinking way to many shots of whatever people are buying then an occasionally WOOOHOOO may come out as I’m trolling the dance floor like I have no business doing.
I shall hang my head in shame later but I can’t control it when it occurs. I shall try harder……
I’ve never even seen FTW, but I do live in the Midwest. Either I am just too old for anyone I know to use it…or the Midwest just isn’t cool enough for it yet.
I’m so very confused. I thought w00t was pronounced WooHoooo! and have been erroneously using it for years.
But also? I’m terribly old and unhip and usually slightly confused. Last week at Whole Foods when the bagger told me my shirt was tight I thought he was telling me (and the other male bagger) that I needed to perhaps have bought it a size larger.
Holy Wootenanie, I called for an anti-woot campaign on Twitter a few weeks ago and the Woot Defamation League kicked my butt. I am so with you on the awkward Woot! word usage. It’s unnatural. Thank you for calling attention to this important cause.
Woot is only cool if you are a college boy in your twenties. But it is not an excitable explanation. It is very low key. And it is not the flavor of the week. But the S* word apparently still works in most social situations and pretty much can mean the same thing give the right amount of gusto.
And to show my age and the age of my kid.
Fonzie would have never said Woot. ROFLMAO
I type, hahahahahahahahahhahahhaha!!!! when something is really funny to me and I”m laughing out loud. It just seems more real to me somehow. I always feel like when someone writes LOL its their polite way of saying “oh that was funny.” Sometimes when my friend and I are laughing about something while instant messaging, and we both keep typing hahahahhaha!!!! back and forth it actually makes me laugh harder :)
My husband is a rhet/comp English professor. He says I should stop with the WOOTS, LOL’s, 24/7′s, WTF’s, OMG’s and my readership will greatly improve.
Damn, I’m starting to think he’s right! “LOL”!
Oh man . . . now I feel so old . . . all you young ones don’t know that FTW is a Hollywood Squares reference. As in, “I’ll take Joan Rivers in the center square for the win, John.”
This vlog made my day. I’m a junior/senior high English teacher, and the text speak that appears in the papers I grade brings tears to my eyes.
Your post is a public service message as far as I’m concerned. Thanks, Kat.
Can I say “Woo?” Have you seen that episode of How I Met Your Mother about the woo girls? B/c I turn into one of those every once in a while.
But, I don’t woot.
My 2 yr old and I both chuckled out loud. I think you just made Woot cool to say everywhere. Maybe not, but it was fun to watch!
Thinking I really want to jump on this vlog bandwagon. I have one under my belt I did for a review and was totally nervous. Silly I know. Thanks for the laughs .)
Yep we definitely need to have a “WOOT” burning or something. Or secretly hypnotze bloggers through subliminal messages in a vlog, and erase it from their memories. You may have to do that for it to be effective though. You’ve got a much larger following than I!
This video is the single funniest thing I’ve seen in quite awhile. Thank you.
…but, you were right. Despite how hard I’m laughing, I’m not rolling on the floor.
I’m LMAO! No? Heh.
I only started using LOL recently, because I was always writing “hehe” or “haha”, and I thought they were getting old. So I sometimes go with LOL. It always feels awkward, because I don’t LOL easily in real life, but I thought it sounded cool. Not cool? Ok, I’m dropping it.
Never used Woot, I’m proud to say! :)
I am not a “wooter” and always picture it used with a fist in the air sort of doing that spinning arm/punching the air move that is sort of MC Hammer-ish which means it never should have and never should be used. Ever.
I put your video in my side bar again as part of my Woot Therapy. Thank you…
First of all, agree 100% on how annoying the “woot” is and I do confess that I’m guilty of the “LOL”. My texts are usually super long because I write out EVERY word. I think the English language is suffering a slow death.
Secondly, I usually read your blog at work which means that I can’t look at the videos, but yesterday I remembered to look at it when I got home…I’ve been definitely missing out. You’re gorgeous, have the most soothing voice, you’re hilarious, and speak perfect English. I’m also jealous of your perfect skin.
I promise to chang my LOL ways and to NEVER say woot :)
What the heck does “Woot” mean anyways! HA! I use “LOL”, but that’s usually because I actually DO Laugh Out Loud! I love to laugh. My dad sent me a text once that said “LOL” and I asked him if he knew what it meant. He jokingly replied “Little Old Lady?” I definitely “LOL”‘d at that! That’s pretty much the only “text” language I use. I can’t stand it when people don’t spell the words out. Don’t be so lazy people!
Ok, ok so I agree on the LOL and most definitely on ROFLMAO. Your right.. no one is rolling on the floor. The thing is I came up with this one PIMP (peeing in my pants) because I really do (sorry kids did it too me). If I so much as laugh too hard, sneeze, jump… yes it’s embarrassing to admit…but I really do PIMP.
Also saw the funniest FB post…my friend said that if she could really LMAO she would be eating more chocolate cake!
And the only HOOT I like to hear is the owl in our backyard.
I’m sorry. I accidentally really did lol while watching the video…
Actually, I LOLWHMC (whilst holding my crotch) because I almost peed a little.
And hey, maybe you should try Wooting like my little brother does?? It’s a double woot with sort of a howling finish. Sort of a low woot, then a screaching woot into a howl. He does it all the time. ;)
Ut oh. Emoticon. I’m gonna get shunned before I even get started!
New follower! LOVE your blog, your prompts; excited!
Unfortunately the end result of me watching that video while my kids were playing nearby was two little girls running around yelling “Woot!”. Apparently you made it sound really fun.
Don’t be hatin’ on the woot. I love woot. I say woot. As a matter of fact when you did your video, I didn’t think anything of the woot. I liked it.
Now you probably think I”m just a big turd or something. FTL.
Oh my god. Thank you. I hate woot and ftw and fml. I have been known to use an lol. but I try to only use it when I actually laugh out loud.
Is it terrible that the first thing that came to mind when I saw you walk in to your sister’s house looking too cute was…Woot!?! ;)
I love this! I have issues with LOL too. I know people are not really LOL’ing. So, really they’re lying. And, people put LOL when they think it will ease the pain of a rude comment, like “That shirt makes you look like a cow, LOL.” I’m more of a HA! girl.
You crack me up. The video was hysterical. I don’t think woot is popular in Florida, but dude is and it works my nerves when it is used in every sentence ;)
I am guilty of using LOL, but after this post I think I will rethink using it ever again.
I use woot (sorry:) but I am a nerd & tend to talk to other geeks a lot, the word being co-opted by non tech people does diminise it’s usefulness.
Besides, what about that fun shopping site woot?
I found you on youtube, love you, consider me a new fan!
