Tapes, CDs, DVDs.

I don't get a message from the young lad now without having to ask what a random load of letters is supposed to mean.

LOL?

I saw a post a while back on some of the socials - basically a parent texting a grown up child to let them know a grandparent had died. They ended the text with "lol".
The child text back asking what was so funny about it....to find out the parent thought "lol" = "lots of love".

lol (the laughter version)
