Originally meant to mean "laughing out loud", it's now become what your side hoe or main will say when you try to be funny but she doesn't find it that way. It can be taken as an insult, as it means you're not funny enough for an emoji or a long "haha". Can also inexplicitly mean to try harder with your jokes.

meanings include laughing out loud, lots of love, but the internet and texting has morphed it into a saying you use to reply when you have nothing else to say back

A phrase used to represent laughter, standing for Laughing out loud. People who use this often are not laughing out loud and didn’t find what you said funny or just can’t make conversation.
