New Contest Already Won

I really hate those stupid chat abbreviations. Who has the time or interest to memorize 300 different obscure abbreviations? And all the ones signifying amusement are super girly; no self-respecting man would ever use LOL or LMAO or BMGWL or even just HaHaHa. The only chat abbreviation I approve of is 404, which means "I haven't a clue." It is a very funny joke that was funny the first time and never, ever grows old, just like all those hilarious bumper stickers that you see every day upon day for years and years and years. Sometimes just for nastiness and spite I type in some new abbreviation with my own private meaning, and of course everyone pretends they know what it means just like they pretend all the time for the real abbreviations.

Every once in a while some brave, honest soul takes the challenge. For example, while chatting with the Great Trevor, he interpreted PMAOTFL to mean "Peeing Myself While Others Take Flying Leaps". Even though he stupidly screwed up one of the letters, this magnificent phrase won the intrepretation contest before I even considered starting one! Hail, Great Trevor! [Ed. Note: Actually this is the site's mistake, not the Great Trevor's - see above]

I propose a new way to signify laughter in chat, and I have made it as super girly as possible. Note that "LOL" and its ilk provide a means of laughing, but not of laughing while simultaneously talking! How can fat, sweaty men act like nervous pubescent girls on a date without this capability? HTML format solves this problem with three lingering licks of a lamb's tail:

If all you want to do is laugh, then just use a single made-up HTML tag:
      <giggle>
      <snort>
      <chortle>

But if you really want to bust it out and talk at the same time, then enclose your text within closing and ending tags:
      <giggle> You're so funny! </giggle>
      <bubbles> Stop! You make my sides hurt! Stop! </bubbles>
