    The name 'Lol' is an abreviated form of the name 'Laurence'.

    "Hey Lol, you alright?

    lol

    It's original definition was "Laughing out loud" (also written occasionally as "Lots of Laughs"), used as a brief acronym to denote great amusement in chat conversations.

    Now, it is overused to the point where nobody laughs out loud when they say it. In fact, they probably don't even give a **** about what you just wrote. More accurately, the acronym "lol" should be redefined as "Lack of laughter."

    Depending on the chatter, its definition may vary. The list of its meanings includes, but is not limited to:

    1) "I have nothing worthwhile to contribute to this conversation."

    2) "I'm too lazy to read what you just wrote so I'm typing something useless in hopes that you'll think I'm still paying attention."

    3) "Your statement lacks even the vaguest trace of humor but I'll pretend I'm amused."

    4) "This is a pointless acronym I'm sticking in my sentence just because it's become so engraved into my mind that when chatting, I MUST use the meaningless sentence-filler 'lol.'

    Generally lol is short for Laugh Out Loud.

    Though a small minority of people may see it as Lots of Love.

    LOL is the acronym for 'laugh out loud'. I think that there are people out there who still think it means 'lots of love', though.
