The most common use of LOL = Laugh out loud, but it can also mean Lots of Love, depending on where it is used.
Lol is short hand for Laugh out loud or Lots of love, commonly used in online internet chatrooms and in SMS, text messaging communications!

"LOL" stands for laugh(ing) out loud.
It does have it's origins in text messaging. When you want to type fast and not use a lot of space, standardized abbreviations help.
Similar words are ROFLOL (rolling on the floor laughing out loud), ROFLMBO (rolling on the floor laughing my but off)...many, many more!

It means "laugh out loud", I believe it started with instant messaging. It's been around for a number of years.

nowadays, LOL means 'laugh out loud'. It used to go on the end of text messages, meaning 'lots of love'.
