People today apparently only use LOL anymore. I remember the 90s when all this started, people also used ROFL (rolling on the floor laughing). I don't know what's in the air tonight but I still ROFL about the roadrunner joke above. And here is another ROFL about a cartoon:

HHGTTG isn't obscure, agreed. But IIRC the Ix nickname is a one-time throwaway comment that's never referenced again and just a tiny bit of background lore. That's a bit more obscure.topsquark said:
