What is MUAH?

sauravjit September 22, 2012

It’s a kiss

bhavya October 15, 2013

‘Muah’ is an onomatopoeic word. I.e a word when pronounced sounds similar to its meaning. (that is a kiss in this context)..more examples: phew, meow, hiss, bam, wham, tsk.

I just had to search google for lml….& they said it was “laughing mad loud”….lmao & lol seem fine to me…why the need to come up with this one…wasn’t there something cooler to come up with???

Connie Toney May 14, 2012

There is nothing wrong with the shortcuts the kids use. In my opinion, the “f” word is totally unnecessary and instead of lmao, why can’t they use lmbo, (laughing my butt off) Why must they use foul laungage? However, when I am trying to read one of these emails it does give me a headache, I have to get my reference material out so I can look up what is being said. “RIF-LMBO” 😉

BTW: thx for the list.

Barbara Deola-Barish October 25, 2012

I agree with Connie. There must be something that can be done about the foul language and should not be allowed on FB.

pallavi March 16, 2013

for us kids its not really as offensive as it is to u
its just the way we hear everyone taking and we tend to start using these words.
i am just saying that its not as bad as most adults say it is
