The terms originated from online censorship but to me using these terms IRL is very similar to people who use internet slang out loud. Might not be censoring herself but just so used to using those terms. It's annoying either way though.

I caught myself saying LOL the other day.

Either 3 backticks before and after code block, or 4 spaces at the start of each line

roflcopter

You know, I never questioned where the term roflcopter came from, but I just looked it up and it comes from the WarCraft III forums in 2003. It actually refers to the gyrocopter in the game rather than a helicopter. This has been another...

Yep, then when they were in wow, roflcopter just continued to spread.

I've said stuff like IRL before I'm sure. I didn't mean to sound judgemental but doing it constantly all the time would irritate me TBH IMO FFS.
