You have not just returned from your 'hollibobs'. You were on holiday. I can cope with 'vacation' if you are from North America.

The word 'hollibobs' has MORE LETTERS than the word that you are replacing it with.

And it makes you look dim.

YANBU. Someone I really like just used it I can't believe it. Perhaps it was a joke but its still no excuse. Prepare yourself to defriend people you actually like...

I try not to care. I'm also trying not to care when my FB friends have a glass of vino, or LOL. But I do, I really do.

But WHY?

It takes longer to write and make you sound dim. Why would you use it, even in jest.
