lol

Originally used as "Laugh out Loud" but now it has other uses, specifically to break up a tense mood in a conversation, try to ask an awkward question, or trying not to be rude. It is not a statement of laughter at all, rather it has evolved into an added word that makes difficult conversations more bearable through text, email, and instant messaging.

Person 1: "Hey so I saw you peeking through my window yesterday while I was undressing, lol"
Person 2: "Oh yeah..lol"
Person 1: "That's kinda creepy, lol"

or

Person 1: "Hey I just wanted to ask...were you the one that stole my wallet? It had all of my important credit cards, point cards, and my gym membership, not to mention a lot of cash,and 20 people say they saw you took it...just asking, lol"
Person 2: "Yeah, i took it and charged everything, cashed out your points, and worked out today, oh and I had a race to see how fast I could spend your money, lol"
Person 1:........lol......

If you didn't know what it meant, you wouldn't be on this site to begin with.

Seriously.

Gramps: Jimmy, getcher pants out of that whatsit and come help me with the fertilizer!
Jimmy: LOL! Grampa, it's called a computer, and my pants are not in it.
Gramps: Eh? Don't get all fancy with your 'cool cat' lingo, boy. Use the English they spend all that time teaching you in school. Why, if those silly innernets words were ever put in the dictionary, I'd start speaking FRENCH. And you know how much I hate those darned French... Why when I was your age, blah blah respected our blah blah blah....
Jimmy: *sigh...*

But nowadays people use it as a word so they can just say something instead of ignoring the person.

Person 1: Dude, my grandmother died today... :(
Person 2: lol
Person 1: What the hell is wrong with you??
Person 2: idk
Person 1: *Logs out*

lol...if you don't know what lol means you're either one: an uneducated little fucker, or two: an wrinkly ass grandma.
But if you're really this fucking retarded, I'll tell you what it means; Laughing out loud.
NOTEEE: No one uses lol when they're seriously laughing, lol that'd be gay. We say LMAO, LMFAO, LMMFAO, ROFLMFAO, etc.
lol is normally used as a shitty reply to something that's not funny, or it's used to be sarcastic.
So now you know the REAL use of lol.

(you're sucha fucktard. lol...bye..)

lol . . . . whoever the hell looked lol up is sucha newbiee.
