    Lol means laugh out loud, literally and is used interchangeably with haha. It's usually used by younger people, so 20's or younger usually. There are many ways while texting to make it more casual including using abbreviations or short versions of words. Examples: Brb-Be right back, Omg-oh my gosh/god These things can be used in texting, but shouldn't be used in formal papers or emails. Hope that helps.

    They are all synonyms although bother has a less formal connotation, you'd probably be more likely to say it to a sibling or child. Interrupt is only used in certain situations like sleeping or talking, where as disturb can be used in a very general way. These all are very nit-picky things and for the most part these words can be used interchangeably.

    Formal Ways: He/she is dead. He/she is deceased. He/she passed away. He/she is no longer with us. He/she is in a better place. Very colloquial and super informal ways to say it. Could be offensive if said in the wrong context. You probably wouldn't want to say these at a funeral, for example.: He/she kicked the bucket. He/she bit the dust.

    You're correct, it means that unless by accident, they never used the same coffee cup.
