Stands for Laugh Out Loud or Laughing Out Loud. This is commonly used throughout text/the internet, used to express amusement between other people. LOL is not to be confused with Lots of Love, which can often lead to awkward/bad moments if the two get mixed up.*

omg yes! lol!!!!
2. I'm so very sorry to hear of your grandfather's passing. LOL!*
omg yes! lol!!!!

An extension of the popular internet and text messaging acronym 'lol', the difference being when the 'lol' is aimed at something, or someone, in particular, and not necessarily as a general amusement to the conversation.
Person 1: I got a bad mark at my maths mock yesterday. Didn't care - got a crap teacher anyway.
Person 2: Lol@Mr Garrison!

Acronym for "laugh(ing) out loud"
Popularized by America Online subscribers in the early-to-mid nineties, spotting someone using the expression was a fairly reliable way to infer that this person was an AOLer. The fact that the L and O keys are adjacent may have helped the acronym find common usage among those who carefully observed their keyboard while typing.
With the decline of AOL, usage of "lol" and its variants spread to any fucktard who somehow found his or her way onto the Internet.

A handy signpost that morons can charitably use online to inform others that they are, in fact, a moron.
