Like many, we had Pachelbel's Canon in D played as we cut our wedding cake. For most Philistines like us, that is all he is remembered for, though it is the only Canon he ever wrote.

ROFFEL
A Dutch variant of ROFL, or just a new pronunciation? Like skiffy for sci-fi.

Huh/??? "broodje op vloer lachende" /??? Hah! one more roffel. Yes, that's how I pronounce it; at the same time as a Dutch word it means the rolling of drums. But where did you get a " bread on the floor laughing? " Hah!

ROFL == roll on the floor laughing roffel == the above initialism as an acronym broodje == little bread, (Dutch) roll, German Brötchen Hoohah == the sound of one guy larffing I seed her carried away roll ...

I'm sorry you have to spell it all out for me. I miss the basics of English apparently. The simple word "roll " never crossed my mind. And I mistook rofl for "roar of laughter". My, isn't it poor after a good two years of almost daily practice.

I wouldn't sell yourself short, Brannie. Your command of English (as a second or third language) is quite good. My feeble jokes oftentimes are in need of such ancillary apparatus criticus—footnotes, commentary, and the like—which is detrimental to humor in general. Keep up the good job!

I'wasn't that dead serious. ( just fishing for a fine compliment) As long as Jackie writes poetry like that I'll rofl along for a while.

Good gracious--I didn't write that--it's part of an actual list I found.
"roar of laughter". Just as good!
