LOL (also spelled lol) is an abbreviation for "laughing out loud", "laugh out loud", or less commonly "lots of laughter" or "lots of laughs". LOL is a common element of Internet slang used, historically, on Usenet.
Many people are critical of "LOL" and its related acronyms and there is widespread controversy over their use.
Siren[1] criticises the overuse of "LOL", stating that he has "seen people type 'LOL' after every sentence" and thus finds it hard to believe "that people are actually laughing out loud every single time they type this". FangedFriend[2] criticizes "LOL" on the grounds that whilst the concept of laughing out loud existed prior to the existence of the acronym, the existence of the acronym decreases the quality of the English language, with its "insidious habit of sneaking into people’s homework, notes, and other daily thoughts in general". Brad[3] observes that people "say 'lol' for no reason at all" and asserts that the word has been "used so much in common [I]nternet slang that we have been desensitized to its meaning." Lacetti, professor of humanities at Stevens Institute of Technology, and Molsk[4] predict reduced chances of employment for students who use such acronyms, stating that "Unfortunately for these students, their bosses will not be 'lol' when they read a report that lacks proper punctuation and grammar, has numerous misspellings, various made-up words, and silly acronyms." Selinger, discussing meeting people over the Internet, states that she has "already made it clear to friends and family that I will never date anyone who writes 'sup' or 'lol' [...] to me in an e-mail."
Twitchell, on the other hand, defends these acronyms as having "become a standard part of [I]nternet conversations and you're just going to have to get used to it".
Despite it being an English acronym, it is often used by non-English speakers as-is, even in other scripts (eg. Arabic: لول, Hebrew: לול).
Variants and translations in widespread use
Most of these abbreviations are usually found in lowercase. lal or lawl — can refer to either a pseudo-pronunciation of LOL, or the German translation (although most German speakers use 'LOL'). Saying "lawl" is sometimes meant in mockery of those who use the term LOL, and not meant as serious usage.
Lol (lollig) — a Dutch word, meaning joke or fun (lollig means funny)
w — used commonly in 2channel
lolz — occasionally used in place of "LOL"
