Laughing Quite Loudly. Occasionally used in in place of LOL by the 31337 Internet users. Also a common mistake since Q looks like O. It should never be typed as lql, only LQL.

Laughing Quite Loudly - a sophisticated version of lol (laughing out loud), used by the more refined users of the Internet.
Many hope LQL spreads out to hopefully replace LOL one day.
May be typed in either caps or non-caps, or a mixture of both.
