brother: and the lord spake, saying, ‘first shalt thou take out the holy pin. then, shalt thou count to three. no more. no less. three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. five is right out. once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy holy hand grenade of antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.’

the shortest form of the hugely popular expression “laughing out loud”. the evolution from “laughing out loud” to the expression “5” is as shown here:

1. laughing out loud – (original)
2. lol – (original -> acronym)
3. 101 – (acronym -> 1337 acronym)
4. 5 – (binary -> decimal)

by using “5” instead of “lol”, 1337 typists save 66% of their time, thus the need for the expression “5”.

typically a situation that warrants a “5” is funnier than a situation in which “lol” will suffice.
