Incredibly Amusing Fact

Hahaha! LOL! Hehehe! Jajajajaja!

I have a new one to add to the list.

55555!!!

What????

Yes, my friends, that's right. In the Thai language, the word five is pronounced "hah," which is just really funny to begin with. And as Thai is a tonal language, it has a high tone, so it's extra silly. Though they have a ridiculously confusing alphabet, Thais typically use arabic numerals. So instead of typing "hahaha," they type "555." Fivefivefive.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I find infinite amusement in this.

Fivefivefivefivefivefivefive!!!!!

Ok, that's all.

Not really. Can we talk for a minute about how silly LOL is, too? It took me a while to catch on to that one. It's really hard to pronounce, so I didn't understand it for a good while. But now I have adapted. But it's still fun to pronounce "loll." Doesn't sound anything like a laugh!!!! Which makes me laugh even more! 5555555555555555555555!!!!!!

ILY also confuses me. I thought it was a nickname at first. Let me elucidate. So I worked with junior high kids for several years, and they would always post things like "Let's hang out, ily!" ily. Maybe short for Emily? But not everyone's name was Emily. So I though ily must be a universal nickname that girls used for each other? I was so confused. So I asked one of my girls one time. And got laughed at. "55555!" She said. No, ily simply stands for I love you. Who'd of thunk? Makes sense now.

I hope you are as amused as I am.
