Originally defined to mean "laugh out loud" but is now so overused that no one is actually laughing when they type it. It is just something that people say when they have nothing else left to say. Often the words "hahaha" are substituted for it to give variety. People also type emoticons such as: ":" to also fill in the space when they get tired of "laughing out loud" or not "laughing out loud". It is the most used word when texting, and one of the easiest to type in order to send a message to someone so that you don't look like your blowing them off.
Person 1: "Hey man, what's up?"

Get the LoLmug. Misinterpretation held by many people's moms - "lots of love" instead of "laughing out loud." Best to use it in a situation where "lots of love" would be very empathetic and appropriate, and "laughing out loud" would be incorrect, disrespectful, and downright horrific.
I heard your brother passed away. LOL
I'm so sorry that you were in a tragic boating accident and are now paralyzed from the neck down. Call me if you need anything LOL

Get the LOLmug. "lol-in" is a term associated with the act of someone moving all their chips into a pot with something very weak, vulnerable, or obviously beaten in a hand of poker. It's basically moving "All-in" with a strong dickhead factor.
"I saw Bob make such a lol-in with 7h2h on a board of AsKs4s10sJc 6 handed yesterday. What a fucking donkey!"
"Hah! Really!? Could he even SEE the board!?"

Get the ~~~lol~~~mug. The term used that is slightly nicer than saying, "Now that just wasn't funny." Not to be confused with 'lol' alone, without a period.
