word
/ˈoʊl/

/ˈəʊl/

释义
A very informal written short form of 'old', mainly used in playful spellings such as 'good ol days' or in names and dialect-style writing. It is not standard in formal English.
用法与细微差别
Usually appears before a noun: 'ol Joe', 'the good ol days'. It often adds a friendly, nostalgic, rural, or humorous tone. Do not use it in essays, professional writing, or careful neutral English. It is different from the interjection 'oh' and from the internet typo 'lol'.
