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"

An acronym for : “Laughing My Ass Off”
- Most oftenly used in text/online messaging or gaming servers, but can sometimes be thrown into real-life conversations
- Accurately pronounced : “L-M-A-O” (saying each letter individually)
NOT : “lm-oh”
- This is a hyperbole. Do not be alarmed. No ones ass is legitimately falling off.
