(n.) A drowning man. On some of the more literacy-conscious chatrooms, whenever anyone (usually a n00b) says lol, they are invariably greeted with cries of "Oh no! He's drowning!" or something of the like. The lol is a drowning man, his head (the 'o') and upraised arms (the two 'l's) visible above the water line. There have been numerous attempted positive spins on this meme, like the Headshot of Someone at a Party Theory, or the He's Not Drowning- He's Just Cheering Theory, etc., but none of them have really taken hold like the Drowning Man Theory. There are also numerous text variations, supporting various theories. Ex: *lol* is a variation on the Cheering Theory, where the cheerer has somehow obtained a pair of pom-poms, and ~~~lol~~~^~~~ is a yet more ominous version of Drowning Man, for, as you can see, there is clearly a shark slicing through the stormy waves towards the hapless lol. Prevent this slaughter of innocent swimmers. Don't lol.
In a chatroom:
n00b: haha lol
Regular: Oh noes! A drowning man!
In real life (ish):
Bob: Well, this is a pleasant day to walk along the beach *sees man drowning* Oh no! A lol!
n00b: haha lol
Regular: Oh noes! A drowning man!
In real life (ish):
Bob: Well, this is a pleasant day to walk along the beach *sees man drowning* Oh no! A lol!

Stands for Laugh Out Loud. Used to be typed out as a way to signify that the person ur communicating with said/did something funny but is now grossly overused and sometimes even said out loud. A lazy way to say "OMIGOSH UR SOOO FUNNY!!!"

Laughing Out Loud Silently. Used when someone says something that is supposed to be funny, but it actually isn't. Does not cause offence, because usually the person you say 'LOLS' to, thinks that you are just using the plural of the commonly used abbreviation, 'LOL' (laughing out loud). Can be used in any situation where abbreviations are appropriate.
Nathan: Oh my gosh, guess what happened to me today? I was walking, in the rain, and I got WET!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Marcie: LOLS.
Nathan: I know! It's like, hilarious, right?
Marcie: Sure. Whatever you say, Nathan.
Marcie: LOLS.

Used to mean "Laugh Out Loud", however some time ago idiots decided to change the meaning to "I don't know what to say so I'll just say LOL to confuse you as to whether I actually mean it or not". Some awesome people (such as myself) HATE when people say this, because then you have no idea what to respond with. Some annoying people also add this to the end of EVERYTHING THEY SAY! That makes me want to set them on fire.
