> What is *ROTFLMAO*?

ROTFLMAO ~ Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Ass Off

It's the abreviation that gives of the strongest message of enjoyment that I
know of.
You can use others to express a happy state but with less effect.

I rate them :

*S* ~ Smile
*G* ~ Grin / Giggle
*LOL* ~ Laughing Out Loud
*ROTFL* ~ Rolling On The Floor Laughing
*ROTFLMAO* ~ Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Ass Off

Kind Regards
CeeJay

Even more strong, but not so widely known:

ROTFBITC  Rolling On The Floor Biting In The Carpet


There also exists this type:

<g>      grinning
<g,d&r>  grinning, ducking and running


And the more explicite type:

<grin>
