lol. Good question :slight_smile:

It is an acronym. As yfkar has already stated, it is short for “laughing out loud”.

thanks . i was thinking it is a meaningless fancy word ! LOL :slight_smile:

ROFL = Rolling on floor laughing.

LMAO = Laughing my ass off.

You can combine them, too. For instance one might reply to a witty comment: ROFLMAO!!!11one

:rolleyes:

-Laurifer

Here’s something I could never understand… Why do people throw extra "OL"s on to “LOL”? Do the "OL"s stand for something different or are people just “laughing out loud out loud”?

ROFLCOPTER

lollerskates

WOOT

Language is going to hell…

LOL can also mean lots of laughter. I don’t use it anymore cause some people don’t like it, and I don’t want to irritate anyone, anymore.

Or Little Old Lady, or Lands of Lore, or many other things

only if we were telepathetic…hehehehe…

This is such a pointless thread.

If you need to know what a certain acronym stands for simply google it.

LOL = Longitudinal Output Level… duh
