Originally created as an acronym for Laugh Out Loud, used mostly in internet chat rooms and online video games to express amusement, usually in response to a statement or joke made by another.
In the current day however, it has been massively overused and now basically means "I am too lazy to think of anything worthwhile to respond". Lol is also commonly used as a sentence filler, replacing periods or simply trying to make the statement not seem to serious. Unfortunately, it is not hard to fall into a habit of using it as the filler.
Now a days when people want to express actual amusement at a statement like lol originally meant, they will usually just spell out "haha" or enhance lol with an explanation point or multiple "L"s and "O"s.

Get the Lolmug. Lol means to "Laugh out Loud", although nowadays it is too overused in inappropriate situations to mean it's literal definition.

Get the lolmug. Though the word lol means 'laugh out loud', it is very rarely used when one is actually laughing. It is used in many other circumstances. For example, in an internet conversation, the word lol is usually used when someone has no idea what the other person is going on about.
"Yeah so I was like, get a boyfriend, and she was like, no, and like, what's up with that?"
"Lol"
It may also be used when one is not listening, or just not bothered to pay attention to what the other is saying.
