I hate the word "lulz". It is just plain not funny.Related content

Actually, it doesn't--that was a clumsy misjudgment in her height on my part; I made her torso too short. If it were colored that'd be her blue pants, but it's black and white.

Tell you the truth I'd cry if Lulz made it into the dictionary. I think it has to do with all those damned ED users.
Correct me if I'm wrong please. I'm sure there are other hubs in the internet where that word came from. Along with some other words I see occassionally. >.<

Lately i've been trying to stop using the word "lol" i'd rather write "hahaha" or something. People nowadaysuse lol at the end of every sentence so really, it's kinda pointless now.
Ia gree with you in this o.o.. I stopped liking lol, lulz is even worse...

I avoid it at all costs. "l33tspeak" literally makes my brain hurt with dumbness.

I fail to understand it and I refuse to answer or read messages written in l33tspeak anymore. If they can't be bothered to write proper english, then it's not worth my time.

Lulz has its place in the world.
I personally am fond of it, mostly because I'm a total bitch.
But it has its place on the internetz, and it has connotations appropriate that another word would not be able to convey. Thus, making it important when I am attempting to communicate. I figure that it's better that your meaning is understood with a fake word than be misinterpretted with a real one. And yes, the word is mostly spiteful, but I find that because of its shallowness as a word, anyone getting really bothered by it needs to turn off their computers.
Though I wouldn't use it in scrabble.
I think all language, no matter how deplorable, vile, or disgusting is important. Words are for communicating, and to dislike a word for delivering its meaning is silly. That's the word's job. Dislike the people too, but I would generally take a closer look at the troll's criticism. A lot of the time, it's factless; but the other half is the highlighting of what does need to be changed. That's what satire is about. Not necessarily funny or kind, but it is criticism at a certain aspect of society.
Woo! Sorry long comment. Excuse any grammatical errors, it's 12:30 here.

You are trying to eat grass that is not there. The meaning of this piece is simple. I do not like the word, as I find it a messenger of unproductive unkindness. Scorpions also have their place in the world, but as Fox sinks with Scorpion on his back and gasps "Why?" Scorpion replies, "It is what I am." That does not make sweet the sting.
Murder is about communication as well. Murder is the last worst thing you can do to a human being, a last-ditch, excessive-force method of getting your message across to someone. It's still a deplorable action.
I am of the mind that criticism can be delivered politely and courteously without the clumsy, heavy-handed use of unkind words. Confusing meanness and spite with satire is unfair to satire--the latter is meant to be classy and subtle; trolling and bullying are anything but.
You want to be fond of it? Go right ahead. I am not. It is why I drew the piece, which rests here, in my gallery.

I don't use the word very often, but it's still a funny word.

I've only seen it used to hurt other people, and that's not funny.

Ooh, that would suck than.
Although I meant the sound of the word is funny. Not neccesarily the definition. Just the sound.

I don't know for sure, but I've seen it used a lot by trolls to justify their nasty, smug, self-indulgent behavior, and I don't like it.

hh you see, these people (well i say people....) have no lives, no way of amusing themselves, and thus resort to attacking people in such a way that they can suffer no real retribution.

I've never seen the word before. It sure does sound like another version of 'lol' though.

Internet-speak is one of those things that just drives me up the bally wall. *snickers.* Hate it.

As far as I know lulz is a typo of lol and then make pural. 'I did it for the lulz' means 'I did it for the laughs'.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Whatever it means, I don't think it's very nice when people get their laughs or lulz or whatever at other people's expense. Surely they could find some other way to amuse themselves.

I haven't the foggiest. The only time I've ever seen it used is when trolls attack someone's page and say nasty things, then, when they are confronted about their overt, impolite antagonism, respond "I was only doing it for the lulz" as if it's some kind of excuse for their bad behavior. Things like that make Star mad.

I've never used lulz, but I've used lawlz *guilty* Love the pic though <3 When I play Scrabble with my family we always try to find ways to cheat like that

Am I, like, the only person in the world who doesn't know all these internet words? *shakes head and giggles.*
Try playing Scrabble with my sister, who can't spell. "B, just get the dictionary," I keep saying.

My dad tells us to get the dictionary out too xD Good times. Some interesting words you'll find in that dictionary as well

What's wrong with "lulz"?
What's it mean? (I don't understand some of the weird words that pop up every now and then. But that's probably a good thing...

Star no like the word "lulz".
I've only ever seen it used by trolls. I see people going out of their way to be mean to other people, troll their pages, say nasty things, and then, when confronted on their total lack of manners, protest "I was only doing it for the lulz," as if it's some sort of excuse. I don't know what it really means--if it even has a meaning.
Bad manners and unneccesary meanness make Star go grr.
