Acronym for "laugh(ing) out loud"

Popularized by America Online subscribers in the early-to-mid nineties, spotting someone using the expression was a fairly reliable way to infer that this person was an AOLer. The fact that the L and O keys are adjacent may have helped the acronym find common usage among those who carefully observed their keyboard while typing.

With the decline of AOL, usage of "lol" and its variants spread to any fucktard who somehow found his or her way onto the Internet.
Then:
05:33:20 <Phil> hey, how much ram do you have now?

a highly overused expression meaning "laugh out loud". part of the all to common internet lingo (lol, rofl, g2g, btw, brb, etc...) that floats around now a days, each letter represents a word, making typing on chat lines and/or online games faster and easier to type... but not always easier to read...

"lol" has now become an overused anoyance. most of the time the typer is not actually laughing and just adds it in as a filler in conversations. used alot when a said person does not know what to type, even if its HIGHLY out of place...
User1> ... and then my grandma died...
User2> lol
User1> ...
User2> wat? lol
User1> ... go die in a hole...

Generally speaking, LOL means laugh out loud, and has become a somewhat over used expression in today's online society.
Now it has even seeped into face-to-face conversation, resulting in lol being said after every sentence. Therefore, if you replace the word LOL with the meaning of CUM, things get interesting.
person who does not know the new meaning and is so using LOL as a "cool" word to use: LOL the bed, man
person who does know the meaning of LOL: me, i just use a tissue
