Another 'haha'er here. I can't stand LOL, though this TED [1] talk gives an interesting look at its use.

I can't stand lol either, I recently was taught by my daughter that I was using heh a bit too liberally, and hurt her feelings. In rl its pretty hard to get more than a smirk from me, been using hehe more, correctly or not...
IMHO "lol" needs to die and take "meh" with it. I have no idea where the latter came from...some rancid corner of Memeville, TV no doubt.
