Lol sebenarnya sebuah singkatan, tapi singkatan yang mana, kepanjangannya apa?
Ternyata setelah dicari-cari, artinya banyaaaaakkk sekali, ada yang menyebut LOL itu adalah “Lough Out Loud” (tertawa terbahak-bahak) ada juga yang nyebut lol itu “Lots of Love” (banyak cinta) atau juga “Lots of Luck” (banyak keberuntungan)[1]. Bahasa ini dipakai untuk komunikasi melalui komputer/internet – yaa chatting itulah..
Kalo dalam bahasa Belanda lol artinya “fun” (lollig artinya lucu). Lol juga dipakai untuk singkatan atau istilah lain seperti nama film, video game nama lokasi dan lain-lain.
Tapi lol juga dipakai sebagai bahasa pemrograman komputer sebagai perintah instant messaging – penampilan pesan pada windows. Contohnya bisa dicoba yang berikut:
Buka notepad. Copy paste kode ini:
lol=msgbox (“Virus berbahaya terdeteksi di komputer Anda. Pilih YES untuk memformat harddisk Anda sekarang, atau NO untuk memformat harddisk setelah restart.”,20,”Warning”)
Save dengan nama virus-palsu.vbs Klik double file tadi. Apa yang terjadi? Tenang…ini bukan virus beneran, cuma messagebox menampilkan pesan yang anda tulis diantara dua tanda petik tadi. Bleh dicoba untuk pesan yang lain, misalnya mengucapkan selamat datang ketika windows start. Ini bisa dilakukan kalo anda simpan file tadi di Start Menu -> Programs -> Startup.[2]
Ya meskipun Prima adalah orang Informatika, tapi kalo dilihat konteksnya tadi, mungkin arti LOL yang dimaksud adalah “Lots of Love”, atau Lot apalah…yang maksudnya bahasa gaul di internet. Ada yang lagi jatuh cinta ma dia kali..hehehe…
