An abbreviation for "Laugh Out Loud" that is used in cyberspace. It is rarely (if ever) meant literally. Maybe there was a time that it LITERALLY meant "Laugh Out Loud", however, I have been active in cyberspace for over ten years and am unaware of this time.
What “lol” is, is simply an ‘online lingo’ that is used to communicate things that IRL (in real life) would otherwise be communicated through tone of voice, facial expressions or body language. In particular, “lol” is used to signify that the individual typing it finds something humorous about what they are saying EVEN IF this individual typing it may not literally be "laughing out loud”
"lol" and most other 'online lingo' also tend to be used in text messages and high school note-passing. And with the exception of text messages (when laziness may ensue), the first letter to “lol” is not usually capitalized, even when it is the start of a sentence or a sentence by itself.

Get the social smokermug. Although the technical term for "tipsy" has been pretty well defined here, in reality, it usually means DRUNK AS FUCK!
Person 1: How much have you had to drink?
Person 2: I'm a little tipsy.

Get the tipsymug. 1) A period of time when a writer's mind is completely blank and drained of any kind of inspirational essence. They are unable to write. They start to bang their head against the basement wall. It bleeds. They scream and shout in agony. And finally, they pray that the pain from this blunt physical trauma and the sight of the sweet sweet catalytic blood finally gives them SOME kind of weak-ass idea.
2) Something that I never seem to have really. Hence why the above scenario was purely speculation on my part. I can't help but imagine however, that is somewhat similar to Dante's second level of hell.

Hey man, I have writer's block. Any advice?
"How about slitting your throat?"
"Okay, cool. Thanks!" *slits throat*
"uhh.. whoops. I kinda meant that as in writing a poem or short story or something about slitting your throat. Or maybe an essay about suicide. My bad."

Get the writer's blockmug. A black, cubical, electronic "box". One side of this cube is however, bot black, but a clear "screen". When this electronic box is activated or "turned on", it flashes towards the "viewer" various images and sounds. These images and sounds are usually either fabricated in a "studio" or coming "live" from a very different place than the viewer is sitting on the couch and watching/hearing them.

Damn, New Years Eve fucking sucked. I sat in my apartment all alone and watched the idiot box until passing out at 2AM.

Get the idiot boxmug. Billy: Can I get you anything to drink? A soda, maybe?
Bob: Huh? What’s soda?
Billy: It’s slang for pop. We say it a lot in these parts.
Bob: Oh, okay. Sure, I'll have a pop.
