We’ve all seen it before—those four simple letters: **LMAO**. It stands for “Laughing My A** Off,” and it’s been thrown around since the early days of the internet, probably as far back as the late ’90s.
Although I am more “LOL” guy, I must admit, “LMAO” has become a quick, universal way to respond to something funny. But what do you say when someone hits you with an “LMAO”?
It can range from clever comebacks to outrageous reply… Unfortunately, I lacked inspiration to do this better so I might come back later and update this article with better choices.
