A word that originally meant:
1) Lots of Love
2) Laugh out Loud
However, it now is more of the equivalent of the grunt you make when you're not really laughing, but you acknowledge the joke. It is also used to soften an insult or make something sound less serious. Alot of the time it is used as an akward silence filler.
When someone is really laughing out loud, the tend to add exclamation points or excessive Ls and Os, or capitalizing it.
ROFL, LMAO, ROFLALMAO, LMFAO, and HAHAHAHAHAHA are also used.

Originally Meaning "Laughing Out Loud".
Since it has now just become a way to show something is funny with laughing out loud being optional, it means "Laughing On Line"

Its origin is "Laughing out Loud". But it has become so overused that it's scarcely expressing humour anymore. Todays meaning is more like "OMG that is so lame!"
Person 1: You want to come over and watch Clueless?
Person 2: lol
Two people are walking on the street, talking. A guy in a spotted Hawaii-shirt passes by. The two friends: lol!

something you type when you have nothing better to say...
