The Science of Decoding MSN Laughs
Step 1: Deduce if laugh is actually a laugh. Generally, laughs being with a ‘h’ and usually follow with vowels such as ‘a’, ‘ee’, or even ‘o’.
Step 2: Decode!
Haha: Normal laugh. Denotes amusement in response to your witticisms and jokes.
Hahaha: Step-up from normal laughter. Denotes pleasure in response to your witticisms
And jokes.
HahahahahahahahahaROFLROFL: Denotes extreme, maniacal pleasure in response to your witticisms and jokes, but more likely in response to the story you just told involving peanut butter, underwear, two gerbils and a carrot. Let’s not go there. May involve pants-wetting, and short-circuited keyboard on the other end. If you get responses like this often, e-mail me. I’ll like to be your friend.
Hah!: Snortful laughter. Usually has undercurrents of agreement ‘you’re right, man’ and ‘us-against-the-ridiculous-world’ sentiment.
e.g: A: If you watch Lost, be prepared to wait 3 seasons to actually find out the meaning of that damned monster we saw in season 1, episode 1.
B: Hah! So true.
Hohoho: Gentle and genial laughter. Usage of this term peaks during Advent and Christmas period, but may be common during other times.
Harhar: Sarcastic laughter. The ‘r’ at the end of the ‘ha’ is an over-eunuciation designed to indicate their irritation. Usually in response to your ribbing. Warning: if you get this response more than 3 times, it’s time to realise that you’re starting to rub people the wrong way. Lay it off, bitch!
e.g: A: Sooooo, I heard you got a hickey on your mickey.
B: Harhar. Shut up.
Step 2: Decode!
