The shortest form of the hugely popular expression "Laughing Out Loud". The evolution from "Laughing Out Loud" to the expression "5" is as shown here:
1. Laughing Out Loud - (Original)
2. lol - (Original -> Acronym)
3. 101 - (Acronym -> 1337 Acronym)
4. 5 - (Binary -> Decimal)
By using "5" instead of "lol", 1337 typists save 66% of their time, thus the need for the expression "5".
Typically a situation that warrants a "5" is funnier than a situation in which "lol" will suffice.

A fictional god of war and terror that supposedly comes whenever someone says the word "FIVE" in a specific tone. Five is legendary for having the ability to change his form and shape, and killing humans that are poor in judgment in a flash.

The 5 is a very serious group of men, not boys. People might try to copy the name or start a false image. In the end everyone knows who the real 5 are and nothing could change that. Not even a bunch of girls who don't have a 5.

I stay up late and I talk to the moon
And I can't stop tellin' him all about you
Wonder if you do the same thing I do
And these four white walls, they know more than my friends
They watch me type messages I'll never send
This is the place that I just can't pretend to be alright
And I can't stop tellin' him all about you
Wonder if you do the same thing I do
And these four white walls, they know more than my friends
They watch me type messages I'll never send
This is the place that I just can't pretend to be alright
