I am confused as to when the written form of laughing got a B added to it.
How is it read or how does it sound in your head
to M.
its either
Bloody hahahahha
or boohahahahaha
or bullocks! hahaha
The B has to stand for something right?
Or do people really laugh with a B sound now and this is merely making the written form correct?
Also what is
CTFU
is it cut the F up?
or
Cu%t the F up?
I'm confused I always thought it was STFU for Shut the front door=)
but i really do roll on the floor when i write ROTFL...i mean i dont like to lie
Well, I use 'bwah-ha-ha' sometimes. I hear it phonetically "BWAH!HA!HA!" Absolute silliness, as opposed to Mwah-ha-ha, which is Evil Genius circa 1960s.
but honestly, the thread on this post is really funny!
I like how Riley does her <<<grin>>> thing, makes M. think of the joker. Or the Cheshire Cat.
My sister says ~cackle~, which is also amusing.
BAH-hahahaha! It's very effective though, isn't it? Like a Spit Scene. Or Milk Out The Nose.
:)
>^..^< <grin> !!
Bwah- is the start.. and it's indicative of a burst of laughter. It could also be Pwah-. It shows that the laughter is either bursting, or coming midsentence because of a lingual stop with both lips together... instead of mouth thrown open for Ha.
Mwah - is evil maniacle laugher
B - Burst
M - Maniacle
Doesn't stand for them, J. works out nicely.
Snickering, though, doesn't type out well... so I personally J. write the word. Like I do with grinning! <grin> Or ::blushes:: Or !Headsmack!
My son has gotten M. hooked on asian emoticons, lately, though.
XD (laughing so hard your eyes are shut... the only vertical tip your head to see it one)

It's a laughter rating system
:) = mildly funny
HaHa = a little better than mildly funny
LOL = fairly funny
LMAO = pretty funny
Bahahaha = surprisingly really funny
ROFL = Really, Really funny
ROFLMFAO = F(#*ing HILARIOUS
I always thought the b in front of haha meant it surprised a laugh out of someone.
Your SWH had M. ROTFL :)
(Not really! I'm lying. But it really was funny.)
For M., bahahahahahhahaha is pronounced bah ah ha hahahahahhahah. Mwahahahahhaha is mwah ahahahahaha, it is a maniacal laughter. Bahahahaha is J. something funnier than ahahahahahhaha.
And yeah, my a s and h s don't always match up. Oh well. :)
You are on your own with CTFU.
Yeah if I say laugh out loud I really did, and I don't LOL. I hate when people use LOL or the like to pretty much say, funny.
hahaha is like a chuckle or laugh where bahhahaha is like a boisterous laugh. Also I think ha ha ha has developed a sort of disingenuous and sarcastic connotation, so a need for a more genuine laugh word was needed. I read it as a laugh that starts before you can even open your mouth. So yes, sort of a B sound.
It's supposed to sound exactly like it's typed "bahahahaha".
The 'b' stands for the initial explosion of laughter.
Don't know what CTFU is, haven't seen that.
You must be bored lol
I like this inane Seinfeld-style discussion. I always thought the evil laugh was 'Mmwah ha ha ha ha !'.
I always read it as kind of an explosive laugh, so you make an initial "Bwa" sound.
I have no idea the second one. I'm sure if you googled, urbandictionary.com could help.
Bwahahahaha - kind of like an evil, vilianous laugh.
I don't think the B stands for anything -- it's to represent the explosive sound laughter starts with when you're trying really hard not to laugh or when your laughter is so spontaneous and explosive.
As for the C, hmmm....
CTFU can mean either Cracking the F Up or Cheer the F Up
:)
I think it's how you distinguish a normal laugh from an evil/sinister laugh, in the internet world. Kind of like ROTFL. We don't really roll on the floor laughing, do we?!
Ok, I think the other ladies have pretty well covered the Bahahahahaha being an unexpected burst of laughter, akin to spitting your drink (or the lesser known cousin, a REAL laugh vs. the ha ha ha sarcastic one).
But I have not seen the Mwah ha ha ha they mention. What I HAVE seen, is "Buwahahahaha"... the same evil, sinister laugh they ascribed to "mwah" (which I think of as a kissing sound).
The "bah" or "bwah" comes from the beverage that gets spit out of your mouth when you unexpectedly burst into laughter. At least that's the sound *I* make when that happens...
"Bahahaha" to M. means that someone is busting out laughing, like it caught them off guard or they had a drink in their mouth when they read something and the "B" is the part that caught them off guard.

mom to 5 including triplets
My husband laughs with a "b" J. like bahahahaha. Wierd!
Hmmm.... I think if you J. buy a vowel, you'll be fine!
