The meaning depends heavily on the context of LOL.

Meaning #1: This is funny

A friend of yours posts something funny, e.g.: “Avoid arguments with the Mrs about lifting the toilet seat by simply using the sink.”
You could write “Hahaha, where on earth did you find this? It’s hillarious!” in response, but it’s much easier to write “lol“.
This also complies with the KISS principle. In this case lol has one and one meaning only: this is/was funny.

Meaning #2: You’re crazy, funny, but crazy

A friend posts something like this: “I’m gonna go tease lions dressed up like a zebra.”
You could respond with: “Hahaha, man, you’re crazy! What lion?! You’re thousand miles away from Africa and there is no Zoo in the radius of 250 km!”
But instead you write “lol“. It’s the same. KISS, remember?

Meaning #3: In your dreams only!

You have a friend who is known as a womanizer, a ladies man, if you know what I mean, and he asks: “May I borrow your car? I have a date tonight.”
Because you know what he is about to do in your car, you would say: “C’mon, get a room, dude! My car? In your dreams only!”
Isn’t it easier to just write “lol”? It really is the same, only with less characters.

Meaning #4:  How nice, thank you for sharing (sarcasm unleashed)

Friend: “Dude, I might have slept with your girlfriend/boyfriend. Sorry, we were both drunk.”
You: ” How nice, thank you for sharing.”
Believe me, “lol” is much more appropriate for this situation.

Meaning #5: Lots Of Love

Priest: “Do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife? Yadda yadda yadda …”
Wife-to-be/Hubby-to-be: “I, (Bride/Groom), take you (Groom/Bride), to be my (wife/husband), to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.”

Here is what I suggest…

Priest: “What will you give her?”
Hubby-to-be: “Lol.”
Priest: “What will you give him?”
Wife-to-be: “Lol.”
Priest: “Woman, you should say lol and occasional you-know-what!”

As simple as that. And a lot of KISSes!

I’m sure you can identify even more meanings of lol. Have fun doing it!

Let me guess. You’re here because someone forced you to come here. No?
Because you’re curious? Do you wanna rule the world or show off in front of your friends or … maybe even get laid?

You are at the right place to obtain unbeatable and mesmerizing super memorization powers! Ready, steady? No-go! Easy now… don’t rush, please

First things first. Try to quickly remember items from list below, because it’ll be gone in 6,0 seconds! Darn, where is Nicholas Cage when you need him?!
(Actually, the list won’t be gone, you have to pretend like you don’t see it anymore, k?)

GONE IN 6.0 SECONDS LIST

Sunglasses
Mosquito
Miss Piggy
Relativity
Tractor
Violin
Bumble bee

Stop looking at the list!
6,0 seconds are gone!

Before I reveal you all the secrets of the GettinStuffIntoMemoryToGetLaid, you have to meet the good, the bad and the ugly. Everyone, meet the good – brainmachine, the bad – memory and the ugly – training.

The Good – Brainmachine

I’m quite sure you think I’ll say your brainmachine is like a machine, but with brain. Doh! Surprise!
I won’t! Because it’s not! Brainmachine (anonymous) is like a memory factory, where memories are produced in three stages: acquire, store, use. If you want to memorize “something”, first you have acquire this “something”, right? And if you want to use it later, you have to store it. Somehow. As simple as 1,2,3.

Every factory needs a heavy worker or two — in our case three muscular, handsome… wait,wait, wait! Wrong movie. Anyways, if you want to acquire successfully, you have to pay attention! Pay attention! NOW! In next step try to relate things to stuff you already know. Isn’t this just like…? YES! Isn’t she just like…? YUP, SHE IS! And one more thing… Gals and dudes, please, get emotional while storing’n'organizing stuff into/in your head! #$%&”!!! You will remember it much easier. Really. Trust me … trust me or I’ll cry you a river!

Until now you’ve met three heavy workers: attention, associations and emotions! It’s time to meet the last one. Repetition. Use the stuff you learned as often as possible. Again. And again. And then again!

So far so good.

The Bad – Memory

Do you (at least sometimes) perceive your memory as a chunk of cheese and you can’t locate the darn mouse making extra holes in it? I have great news for you, folks! I can help you exterminate this  f***ing mouse! However, there are some nifty facts about the memory, if you’re still curious …

Shorties’n'Longies

Did you know people can be divided into Shorties and Longies? Before you get too excited – NO, it has nothing to do with your height or with the length of Mr. Johnson. Shorties are people with the memorization capacity of a goldfish. They can remember things for few seconds or in maybe even minutes … but then … it’s all gone. People borrowing things from you (esp. money) are definitely shorties. One minute you lend them something, next minute they don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.

On the other hand, person remembering something for a looooong (and I mean loooooooooong) period of time — like elephants do, is definitely a Longie. There is a 99% chance, that your spouse (or girl or best friend) is a longie. You don’t believe me, do you? Try to forget her birthday or an important anniversary. I can guarantee you she will remember every single detail, every single word you said that day and she won’t hesitate to use this memory against you when you’ll least expect it — even after 20 years! No, you won’t see it coming.Take my advice, be careful with Longies, k?

Lefties’n'Righties

As if life wasn’t complicated enough, people can be further divided into Lefties and Righties. Do you recall the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? Here we can talk about Dr. Ratio and Mr. Emotio(n). A Leftie or Dr. Ratio has no problems remembering facts and numbers. He will be able to memorize the pin code of your credit card (or the number of that secret bank account of yours) without special effort. He is very fond of logic, all kinds of lists and he’s probably the honorary member of some weird club named SequencesRule!

Mr. Emotion(n), definitely a Rightie, is quite the opposite. He likes imagination, colors, chaos and all the pretty pictures — especially in Playboy or Hustler. For Mr. Emotion(n) it is no biggie to remember faces, specially if they belong to blonds, brunettes… if you know what I mean.

Let me ask you something. Which one are you? None of them? You say you can’t remember numbers nor faces? Ouch, you’re in big trouble.

Come back to read about the ugly, it’s for your own sake.

… to be continued …

It is. Woohoo, I guess my Brainmachine is alive! It’s alive! No, actually it’s not, but who wants to deal with all the dirty details…

Well, upon serious reflection I decided to start writting stuff in English, too. Why? Because I can, partially. And yes, because I’d like to entertain you all English speaking/reading folks! The breakthrough was BarCamp meeting in Ljubljana, where I met the most awesome audience ever listening to my presentation Brainmachine 101!

Usually I have to deal with über serious scientists or hardcore programmers, who lost their sense of humor with the 1001st line of code. Guess what? Life doesn’t have to be so serious. You can be a geek, a businessman or a scientist and have fun at the same time. It”s not forbidden, doh

I might not be the brightest star in the universe of geekiness, but I pretty sure I can make you laugh … or at least smile for a sec. No? C’mon, I can see a glimpse of smile. See, it doesn’t hurt

Next time is gonna be all about brainmachine, your brainmachine. Don’t go away or don’t go too far.
