"You misunderstand the definition of the word "lulz". LULZ is a corruption of LOL, the latter being a positive joyous expression meaning to laugh out loud, while the former denotes an objectively negative response which is pleasing to certain people but is essentially rooted in schadenfreude." ~ Hopscotch

Wow, Hopscotch. I didn't know that. Thought 'lulz' was just 2009 slang for laughs and happiness. Title would
have been"Stress takes the joy..." had I known over my second cup of black coffee this morning. Thanks.
Edit: Thanks also for my new word for the day... schadenfreude
"malicious joy in the misfortunes of others," 1922, from Ger., lit.

or "the body". Much simpler. All about being henpecked by anonymous raw emotions in total control.
