What Does 555 mean?

I use 555 intermittently on my blog, but even moreso over at Newtown Mums, as this 555 became adopted into the NM “language” - we have our very own dictionary of acronymns and perculiar jargon which keeps track of the new english words (& euphemisms) that get invented within the group.

As for what 555 means, it is a super-fast way to laugh. This expression was introduced to me by my brother. He came across this phenomena with Thai live chat, people were 555′ing at each other.

The number 5 - is pronounced as “ha” in Thai, so when you pair three 5’s together with 555, it’s literally saying;

“hahaha”

There. I hope that helps explain things and maybe others may adopt it as i have. It’s very easy to type compared to “lol” or “cack” or “giggles” etc - so that’s why i use it sometimes. Thought it might be a useful tip for those who enjoy laughing alot.

The “evil” laugh (a bit like how Bart Simpson does it), is sometimes represented as;

Still very loaded with work, and currently in a phase of blogging my ass off over at NM. Lots of intense growth & learning during this phase of my life atm. It’s going well.
