over at joe's watching real housewives of new york... they have these chat bubbles that come up on the screen during some commercials. these chat bubbles contain a lot of those texty-type abbreviations.

alicia: hey dad, LMAO!
joe: what's that mean?
alicia: laugh my a$s off.
joe: oh, kind of like LOL,LOL.
alicia: do you know what that means?
joe: hell yes, laugh out loud.
alicia: how did you know that?
joe: i was on my computer before you came over & i was LOLing all over the place.

(The closest thing Joe has to a computer is a touch tone phone)
