Pardon my ignorance
Posted by mloik on Sunday, October 31, 2004 4:15 PM
But what does "FOFLMAO" stand for? I've been working on it, but have not come up with an answer on my own. (Incidentally, it took me a while to figure out "lol"!!!!)

Regards to all,
Michael

I should probably mention for reference sake that the old Internet acronym I recall from lo these many years ago was ROTFLMAO, which substitutes 'rolling' for 'falling' -- semantically better because you only fall once, but can roll around helpless for a substantial length of time...
