Is the abbreviation "lmao" allowed?

I have no idea

As the full abbreviation stands for laughing my (can't say on scratch) off, Probably not.

No.

-ShadowOfTheFuture- · #11 Aug. 21, 2017 05:53:27

No, I don't think so.

If you replaced the A with something else, like B for broccoli? LOL IDK

KawaiiCatGirl- · #12 Aug. 21, 2017 18:41:46

LMHO? (laughing my head off)

I say it is allowed, just discouraged. I mean, we can say the word the a stands for, right? as it is an animal

While you're not directly saying what it stands for, people genuinely have an idea what it means or could cause them to google it. Some people could find it offensive, so I wouldn't risk it. There are other things you can say.
Laughing My Arms Off?

To be honest, if laughing causes any body part to come off you might want to got to the hospital.

I was just using something that fits with the acronym.

I guess, I use it from time to time and don't intend it as swearing (kinda like “lol”, it's become part of my vocabulary), and I've seen many people say it here who most likely have the same intention.
I mean, I've seen people saying things like that abbreviation that stands for as.. um.. “frick”. Compared to that word I don't think the word in that abbreviation is that bad.
Just avoid using it in ways that aren't really appropriate. And don't use the version with the “f” in it. Seriously.. DON'T.

Just use LoL ' Laugh out loud '

Not really. If you have a doubt, report it - and the Scratch Team will determine if your report was rightful or not.

As others have said, just use “lol” instead of your own abbreviations to save some time - while sending the same message:
