An overly used acronym used on instant messengers, most people who use it now, don't even "laugh out loud". They just use it when they don't have anything to say in an awkward situation or when someone told a really stupid joke that they don't care about.
queer2066:...and then she fell on the floor and had a broom stick shoved through her lungs.

Originally found in Sumerian Tax Logs to define overdue fees (Late on Lamp Oil, some experts believe), this phrase has evolved through time. Shakespeare shunned the abbreviation, finding it impossible to rhyme with. Thoreau punched Jim Bowie in a local tavern for carving it on the table with his special knife, but Lincoln ad-libbed it in the original Gettysburg address during an uncomfortable moment in the Monologue. It meant "Laughing On Line" during the internet craze of the late 20th century, but now has been reduced to a response to the dull person you are texting to out of politeness rather than the one you are actually engaged in a conversation with, if you can call it that.
Sumerian Tax Log: Entry-2 dribs of Lamp Oil, payment 2days past due- LOL (usually required lopping off of something).
Shakespeare's feeble attempt; Mehears the lady LOL, mehopes not at mine nether hole.
Lincoln:Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.(uncomfortable shifting in crowd of living-dead did not shift hopefully)LOL, I meant equal as in, ya know, separate but equal, ya know, LOL, wait till you see my new bathroom signs. (Crowd relaxes) Ok, did I mention there's a new dee-luxe horse and buggy in the lot for y'all who came out today?(big whoop from crowd).
Justin text:RU still there?
Kimberly:LOL

Believed my the masses to be an acronym for "laughing out loud", in truth the term "lol" is actually an acronym for "let's order linguini".
Person A: Damn, I'm hungry.
Person B: LOL! (Insinuating that Person A and Person B should both order linguini, a tasty pasta)
Person B: LOL! (Insinuating that Person A and Person B should both order linguini, a tasty pasta)

Originally means laugh out loud, but if you receive this in a text message, it can also mean "oh u think this is funny but probably not for me".

In a monologue on the internet, this word can also be used as a substitute for punctuation marks. Not very common, but it can happen.
Happy birthday lol I hope you have fun lol Tracy asked me if you would like to watch a movie with us at 3 and I have no idea how stupid I sound when I type like this lol so see you later lol
