lol

A word that a girl may use to try and annoy a boy, making them sound like a year 2.

When doing this they tend to loose all respect from everyone and look like a massive twat.

later that night, she was running down a dark alley. I couldn’t help but chase her with the knife i had stole from my grandma. I noticed that she started to run faster. and constantly looked back. I took this as a sign of her telling me to keep up, I liked her a lot so i thought this wouldve been my chance to smash. She started getting faster, I found it hard to keep up. I noticed that she was screaming “HELP!” “HELP!” “THERES A WHITE MAN WITH A KNIFE CHASING ME!”.
I got scared because that man must’ve been chasing me aswell. So I ran faster and faster.

We all know that it stands for "Laugh(ing) out loud" but that's not what it means anymore.

"Lol" is what's called a pragmatic particle of speech, or a discourse marker.
It serves to set the tone of a message, usually on the internet. When speaking to someone, they listen to your voice and perceive a positive or negative tone. When reading text, there is no tone to perceive so "lol" goes at the beginning or end of a sentence to ease any tension in a conversation.

Take for example a converstation in which you call your friend a shithead on Instagram. If you just say "You shithead." They might perceive you to be mad or they'll take offense. If you say "lol you shithead" then they're likely to understand that you're not serious.

Other examples of discourse markers include

-wow
-oh
-um
-well
-uh
-so
etc...

"lol" can also be used to signal to someone that you found something they said or shared to be humorous or funny. This is more in line with the original "lol" meaning "laughing out loud" although a person who replies "lol" almost never actually laughs out loud.
Jake: Damn bro are you trying to start shit with everyone
Pat: Lol I don't give a fuck.

James: Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food out of hot eat the food
Adam: lol what

Ashley: *sends a funny meme or says something funny*
