LOL

LOL, or lol, is an acronym for laugh(ing) out loud or lots of laughs, and a popular element of Internet slang. It was first used almost exclusively on Usenet, but has since become widespread in other forms of computer-mediated communication and even face-to-face communication. It is one of many initialisms for expressing bodily reactions, in particular laughter, as text, including initialisms for more emphatic expressions of laughter such as LMAO("laugh(ing) my ass off") and ROFL (or its older form ROTFL; "roll(ing) on the floor laughing"). Other unrelated expansions include the now mostly obsolete "lots of luck" or "lots of love" used in letter-writing.

The list of acronyms "grows by the month", and they are collected along with emoticons and smileys into folk dictionaries that are circulated informally amongst users of Usenet, IRC, and other forms of (textual) computer-mediated communication. These initialisms are controversial, and several authors recommend against their use, either in general or in specific contexts such as business communications.

Coach Baker's LOL

Coach Nick Baker commonly uses LOL in his text messages. Most may believe that it would mean "laughing out loud" or "lots of love" but it is starting to become clear that he is sending the team a hidden meaning. That secret meaning is "lots of losses" as he points out the teams inability to hit a baseball and to not get walked off every other game.

Coach Baker's LOL: If you saw the team we played today you would understand lol.
