A qualifier used to diffuse tension at the end of a particularly serious statement. The user of this qualifier usually anticipates a negative reaction (the nature of which is either anger or awkwardness) from the listener, and thus hopes that adding the word "lol" will convey a tone of facetiousness, which is often not discernible in netspeak.
