laugh out loud. an internet abreviation
by zeckery27 August 30, 2006

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.
John: So my friend got tripped today.
Jim: Ha ha!
John: Hey, shut up, he wasn't expecting it!
Jim: Err.. what I meant to say was: lol that sucks
John: Oh, okay.
Jim: Ha ha!
John: Hey, shut up, he wasn't expecting it!
Jim: Err.. what I meant to say was: lol that sucks
