- hi<\/em>: NaL (Not A Laugh).<\/li>\n
- hee<\/em>: You’re trying to show that you’re gleeful. You’re trying<\/em>, and that’s appreciated.<\/li>\n
- ha<\/em>: Ok, we’re both interesting enough to sustain a conversation interspersed with dry humor.<\/li>\n
- :) \u00a0works, but could also be a stop-gap “I am not sure what to say” or “I hope you realize this is not really funny for me, but I can still pretend like it is.”<\/li>\n
- :) :) :) (or an unspecified number of smilies) You made me feel really happy.<\/li>\n
- :-D <\/em>is a little warmer. No, Skype-users, regardless of what you say, this still means a grin, and not a laugh.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Medium-end: (Huh? That does not even make sense!)<\/h3>\n
- \n
- hihi<\/em>: Almost NaL. Requires context to be interpreted thus. Possible to misunderstand as you saying hello too effusively. Don’t use, please.<\/li>\n
- heehee<\/em>: Perfectly valid, somewhat-naughty giggle. Bonus if you’re smoking hot and\/or cute.<\/li>\n
- eh heh heh<\/em>: On the creepy side. but if we’ve been naked together or if there is a possibility of us getting naked together, this would count as foreplay. Also, if this is a legitimate League of Extraordinary Gentlemen reference, I love you already.<\/li>\n
- har har<\/em>: Sarcastic. Also says you grew up in the eighties, just like me. But it’s been 22 years already.<\/li>\n
- snicker<\/em>: You’re making fun of me. For real, right? This is most disconcerting.<\/li>\n
- ho ho ho<\/em>: So’s your momma.<\/li>\n
- :))\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>Convincingly funny.<\/li>\n
- :-D :-D :-D :-D <\/em>or :D :D :D :D \u00a0<\/em>You’re showing borderline reactions. I don’t know if you find this really <\/em>funny or sort of <\/em>funny.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
High-end:<\/h2>\n
- \n
- haha<\/em>: Definitely ironic. Too calculated to sound like you find this humorous.<\/li>\n
- HAHA<\/em>: “Funny, but I do not have time for this.”<\/li>\n
- hahahahaha<\/em>: “Funny. Will probably react with a witticism\/link\/youtube video of my own within the next few minutes.”<\/li>\n
- HAHAHAHAHAA<\/em>: “Ok, I would find this extremely funny if I was not busy and would probably respond with a witticism\/link\/youtube video of my own, but I am a little pressed for time and this is the most I can respond with. Also note the typo at the end, which shows you how busy I am.”<\/li>\n
- ahahahah\/AHAHAHAH<\/em>: Same as above, but post-modern.<\/li>\n
- Hah hah hah<\/em>: Totally creepy. In my mind, this is a transcription of heavy-breathing-over-phone.<\/li>\n
- muhuhaha\/muhahaha<\/em>: We just shared an evil scientist\/dead baby\/ joke. We’re cool.<\/li>\n
- bwahaha<\/em>: Slightly more sophisticated version of the above, and I will assume you’ve read Giffen\/DeMatteis\/Maguire’s run on JLA.<\/li>\n
- mwahaha<\/em>: Fuck you and your portmanteau words. Who do you think you are, Lewis Carroll?<\/li>\n
- muahaha<\/em>: This makes me feel like you’re kissing and laughing at the same time. Please stop.<\/li>\n
- lol\/LOL<\/em>: Oh ok, you’re lazy. If I like you, I will just mentally replace this with “hahahaha”. If I don’t, I will totally judge you.<\/li>\n
- ROFL<\/em>: I know you’re not really R-ing on the F, but it’s nice mental imagery if you’re smoking hot\/cute, in which case I would probably be thinking of R-ing on the F with you too. If you’re not, whatever.<\/li>\n
- :)))))))))<\/em>: You’re trying too hard to show that you are amused. That is not a good sign.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Someone approves.<\/p>\n
