Indeed - very good Marcus! In fact, I'll go so far as to 'lol' at it.  Although in all honesty, all I did was do one of those barely-audible-exhale-quickly-out-of-your-nose (baeqooyn) laughs.  But don't take offence; that's about my usual laugh (unless it's slapstick, in which case I usually laugh loudly, and very high-pitched - kind of like the sound a vixen makes when it gets caught in a snare).

So, rather than 'lol', I'll say 'baeqooyn!'

Actually, talking of 'lol', a year or two ago I was chatting to a guy at work, and during the discussion I made a *mildly* humerous remark, and my colleague reacted to this by actually saying "lol"; he didn't 'laugh out loud', he said the word 'lol'.

It was a little bit weird.

So rather than say `lol', I'll say `baeqooyn!.

Michael, surely thats just posh Lancashire speak. As in `i'll have a baeqooyn sandwich'

You could try the Urban Dictionary, here !

PMSL!  (to use another one)

To be honest, that actually did make me lol!
