lmao

Once an acronym for laughing one's ass off -- an expression of great amusement and laughter online, now reduced to an ironic, often sarcastic or passive aggressive, and meaningless phrase way to express cynicism and apathetic anguish.

In the words of tumblr user heavenboundghost: when did "lmao" or w/e become shorthand for "i'm fucking suffering"
