an acronym, standing for "wince out loud". This term is an online or textual exclamation similar to it's almost opposite acronym "LOL" but WOL is used in situations where the viewer is either shocked, embarrassed or appalled by what they see or read online. This acronym is most often used when viewing unlocked private pictures on dating sites, particularly when the unlocked image reveals a very ugly face, or a particularly explicit and disgusting sexual act or part of the anatomy.
