Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn’t translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.

Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

    See, I feel like I have to do it to show some levity, since tone doesn’t come across through text.

    There’s a big difference if you’re talking with a friend about something stupid they did, and saying “You’re such an idiot lol” and “You’re such an idiot.” One is teasing them, the other is chastising them.

      That’s what “heh”, used to be used for. It’s not “laughing out loud”, it’s more a tiny chuckle.
