Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

I once had a conversation with my girlfriend where she didn't get a joke. I had to explain it to her and when she got it she said "oh, yeah. lol"
But the "lol" was said like the way you'd say "right" or "got it."
"lol" expressed that it was funny, but the tone expressed understanding.
I remember the first time I said lol out loud.
It was strange, because I wasn't even a fan of it to begin with, but it snuck into my head, and one Christmas, I was talking with a cousin telling a story, and said that I "loled".
Did she spell it or say "lull"? I started doing that with friends in high school and it accidentally stuck.
