We Speak. I'm Feifei.

Neil: And I'm Neil.

Feifei: And Neil – you look different.

I just can't tell what it is…

Neil: Oh, you mean my hair? My pink hair?

Feifei: Yes, why on earth did you do that?!

Neil: Ah, you know me Feifei.

I did it for the lolz!

Feifei: Right. Well, it is pretty… funny.

Neil: Thanks. It's my birthday today and

I thought I'd do something fun. If you do something

'for the lolz', it means you do it for fun.

Feifei: And as Neil is demonstrating, it's

often something a bit silly or crazy. Oh,

and happy birthday by the way.

Neil: Younger every year. Now, lolz is

a close relation of another slang term: LOL.

Feifei: LOL stands for 'laughing out loud'.

We use it when texting or on social media

after a joke or something funny. For example,

Neil, your hair looks amazing, LOL.

Neil: Why is that a joke? My hair really does

look great. Anyway. Lolz can be used in the same way.

Feifei: Your hair looks amazing, lolz.

Neil: Thanks. Or we can use it in the phrase

'for the lolz' as I mentioned earlier.

Feifei: Shall we play some examples?

Neil: Or I could play my banjo, for the lolz?

Feifei: Maybe later! Listen to these examples.

A: You're putting so many chillies

on your pizza?! Why?

B: For the lolz. Gonna be hot!

I collect teapots. Everyone tells me it's

pointless but I do it for the lolz.

I'm gonna convince everyone I'm

an astronaut, just for the lolz.

Feifei: So – lots of lolz examples there.

How long will your hair stay pink, Neil?

Neil: It's permanent. Unless I dye it again.

Feifei: Seriously?

Neil: Just kidding. Anyway, Feifei,

I've got an idea.

Feifei: Oh yeah?

Neil: Why don't you… walk through the office

singing Happy Birthday to me?

Feifei: But… Why?

Neil: For the lolz, of course!

Feifei: Of course.

Neil: Goodbye.

Feifei: Bye.
