Ghosts say 'buh' in German? I initially read it as 'bruh' which was equally funny
- Yes they do. Confusingly we also use "Buuh!" for booing someone who's performance sucked
  
  Exactly the same in English
- Yeah, pronunciation is the same as the English "boo".

How does one LoL in German?
- You don't. And if you absolutely have to, please do it in the basement.
  
  It's German humour, it's no laughing matter
  
  Joke's on you, my office is in the cellar.
  
  Schörmen hjumer, its no laahsing metter.
- Right? I'm always fascinated how similar English and German are too. Took me a few seconds to realize that "buh" translates to "boo".
  
  It's pronounced the same, too.
- Actually 🤓 lol is a German acronym meaning "lachen ohne Laute" (laughing without sounds)
  It's not but I heard a kid say so once
- Hahahahaha
