Originally meant "laughing out loud" but is now so overused that it now means "I find that vaguely amusing" also a filler word now when there is a puse in the conversation or the person is lost for a response, or they are too stupid or lazy to think of one.

A happy face that has been bred with a lol.
It may be used in moments where a normal lol is not up to standards.

It stands for "laughing out loud." A slight irony to this definition is that generally people don't literally laugh out loud. That's reserved for other acronyms such as, but not limited to, LMMFAO, LMAO, ROTFLMAO, etc. Lol is most commonly used as a slience breaker, a reply to a joke that is SUPPOSED to be funny but really isn't, or an answer to an uncomfortable or random statement that one couldn't think of a better response to.
Example 1:
Person 1: Hi
Person 2: Hey
Person 1: umm..
Person 2: uh.....
Person 1: lol
Example 2:
Person 1: I like to pick my nose and then massage the boogers on my anal orifice
Person 2: lol
Example 3:
Person 1: I got fired from my job today, got dumped, contracted HIV, lost an eye, got caught masturbating in the elementary school parking lot then shot the cop who tried to arrest me
Person 2: lol
Person 1: Hi
Person 2: Hey
Person 1: umm..
Person 2: uh.....
Person 1: lol
Example 2:
Person 1: I like to pick my nose and then massage the boogers on my anal orifice
Person 2: lol
Example 3:

Person 2: lol

The ultimate in stupidity, its is a bastardization of the word lol (laugh{ing} out loud). It is used by only the most ignorant and desperate of users. Avoid at all costs.

Laughing out "loud"...quietly and drawn out.
Laughing but not thinking whatever the comment was, was funny.

lol - originally meant "laughing out loud", but now is the most common expression in any text conversation, just used instead of HAHA or any giggle or something like that. Also used all the time when there's nothing else to say... LOL key should be added to a standard keyboard.

Literal meaning: "I acknowledge your statement"
Placed by itself during a text/instant messaging session, after a comment so lame (or awkward) that you don't want to type anything longer than three letters.

Jane: hey what's up?
Dick: (insert dumb-ass phrase that doesn't merit a response here)
Jane's thought process: "Who the fuck gives a shit? However, I feel compelled to respond."
Jane: lol
