Talk:lö

No no no no, this is false information and needs to be changed. 'lö' means hello? This was actually something completly new to me. Where I come from in Sweden (westcoast), 'lö' means body hair, or it can also mean junk or other fluff/fuzz junk. I've also heard it used with that meaning in other places. It may not be in SAOL, but it is common known old slang. Here is another reference (http://www.folkmun.se/definition/l%C3%B6) --Spekkio (talk) 14:14, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

When it comes to IRC slang however, we often used 'lu' or 'lulu'. But that might have been completly different between different channels or networks, or just common withing one certain small group of people. --Spekkio (talk) 14:31, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

I have personally never encountered this. Can we find any attestations? --Lundgren8 (t · c) 13:39, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

The very first edit provides much needed context. I suspect someone just playfully stuck the dots on top of the o in lo as a sign of national identification, as if Spanish speakers started typing "¡ño!" for every no. Silly but silly on purpose. The talk page suggests that this may have been a small fad ... the original writeup looks like something I'd expect to find on Urban Dictionary, and while it may have been true in 2005 in at least one small Internet community, I'd want to see evidence of continued use to call it part of the language as a whole. In general, fads aren't words ... we have no page for hueg for example. —Soap— 02:14, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Agreed, and we have no idea how small this fad was either. For all we know this could be restricted to the original creator’s circle of friends without any other attestations. --Lundgren8 (t · c) 16:38, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
