You're not daft. It took me ages to work it out - until I asked a 16 year old!

On other words - "Isn't it funny?!"

"I may be old (72yrs),  I may be grey,  I may be Irish,  I may just be thick"

72 is not old - age is in the mind, not the body
grey - you should stop buying that colour hair dye (this is from someone who was born alot later than you who also buys it)
Irish - I would be proud of being Irish
thick - join the club

We could start a whole thread asking what some of these things mean. My son's friends speak in "text" sometimes and I haven't a clue. (And I'm  a mere 41)

I think officially (if there is an official meaning) it's supposed to be Laughing Out Loud, to let the person you are writing to know that you are laughing - snce they can't see or hear you.
I agree - it took me a while to figure some of these out - not always obvious.
But you can have fun and come up with your own ideas until you find the answers LOL :)
I am researching the following families:
Hurst / Payne - Leicestershire / Warwickshire / Worcestershire
Toon(e) - Leicestershire
Batchelor / Foster - Warwickshire / Northamptonshire
Hardy - Dorset

My web site has the family tree showing.  I am researching primarily the Payne, Hurst, Foster and Batchelor lines in the Midlands.
