LOL

"LOL" is a popular internet abbreviation for "laugh out loud."

1. It is often mistaken by parents as "lots of love."

2. It is often used in texting and online chats when things get awkward, or when there is nothing else to say.
1. When texting your mom:
Mom: "Grandma died. LOL"
You: WTF?
2. When texting a person you don't know too well:
Person: "I forgot my homework the other day and my teacher yelled at me!"
You: LOL I gotta go now.

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...*

lol doesn't really mean "laugh out loud". It never has.

It can mean "I acknowledge what you said, and it may or may not be mildly amusing. Either way, I genereally approve, in a non-comital way."

It also usually communicates the amused, nearly silent expulsion of air from the nose, which is not quite a small snort, which is reserved for reading something funny. Originally used for amusing and witty books, but now translated to text communication as well. One does not actually have to politely laugh, one mimics it with a simple lol, and doesn't bother to mime the false pretense in person.
lol!

lol

Stands for

Laugh(ing)
Out
Loud

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*

A three letter acronym with a shady past. I knew a couple who thought it meant 'lots of love'... and they wrote LOL in a funeral letter!
Funeral Letter: 'Sorry your dad died. LOL, Jake and Sally.
Guy 1: Dude, he wrote LOL in a funeral letter!
Guy 2: Must have thought it mean lots of love.
