Lol

Acronym for "laugh out loud."

Formerly used accordingly, but now used when you have nothing to say or don't really care.
Used in verbal speech (pronounced 'L O L') almost exclusively by brain-dead Starbucks-drinking cellphone-addicted teenage/early twenties girls (or gay guys) that drive light blue Japanese compacts and lose the ability to perform basic human functions when their phone dies or Snapchat is unavailable.
(Tiffany) "I think I will post my breakfast onto my Instagram."

Originally meant "laughing out loud," but according to linguist and 'TED Talks' guest, John McWhorter, "lol" eventually came to be used as a pragmatic particle or verbal space filler, if you will, before finally evolving to it's current state of popular use as a marker of empathy, accommodation, or understanding, quite often of something that isn't a great thing.
Nowadays when people say "lol," you can obviously see that it no longer means "laughing out loud," and that it more likely means something like "Well shit! The struggle is real but the thing you're talking about probably won't turn out 'too' bad compared to, oh I dunno, literal Satan, for example."
