Someone just said that people simply kill the time on myLot. Do really people want to 'kill the time"? I come to myLot not to kill the time. I take interest in the discussions that I find here. I have been away for a few days. However I was not killing the time. I was in a place where I couldn't access the internet. Therefore I missed myLot a lot. If 'killing the time' means spending time doing something not very serious, what might be the history of this expression?

I would just kill what I find annoying. If I have to wait for something, I'm going to "kill the time". 
But hey, I'm Italian, I have my own special way of thinking. 
I've been using myLot so much I don't feel like I'm killing time in any possible way. 
I see my fame increasing each and every day.

@sabtraversa Yes it's knowing each other as well as knowing how differently others think...

@ritwik17c Maybe there are few people here who just do mylot to kill time but I think there are too few of them because I'm sure almost all of us here enjoy what we are doing here.

@magallon I too. It would be nice to know the history of the phrase though...

My son always asks me about expressions he has heard. This one just means finding a way to pass time. I think mylot is a great way to kill time

Well, "killing time" to me means basically wasting it, and I don't think I'm wasting time at myLot. This is weird. I just had that feeling of "deja vu" like I'd seen this discussion before.
Anyway, this is a good place for learning about other people, and it's a plus to get paid. So this doesn't meet the definition of "killing time" to me.

@CinnamonGrl I agree with you. What's more, probably one doesn't enjoy killing time... whereas we do enjoy our time at myLot...
