A short way to express laughter in typing, rather than type "ha ha" which might be mistaken to somebody as a more offensive laugh. A more convenient way to express laughter than "I'm laughing hard." If it is said in person, this could mean the speaker is incredably lame, stupid, or ignorant, or is addicted to games.

lol means laugh out loud. lol

An abbreviation that some day stood for 'laughing out loud'. Boomers still use that definition but that word has evolved. LOL with all capital letters means being in a shock.
However lol with all small letters means "Lack of laughter." It is usually used when just acknowledging someones message.
