Mom: Hey son your grandma got in a car accident and died
Son: lol
Another way of saying, Your joke wasn't funny, I'm not laughing out loud, but I feel I must encourage you. Or, I don't really care, and since I didn't read what you typed, I have nothing else to say.
Clark: Why did the chicken cross the road?

Meaning "Laugh Out Loud," this is generally used in text messages and social media comments. It was originally only used by frequent Internet users (somewhere in the early 2000's), but now has become infected by the soccer moms and grandmothers on the Internet. This is also referred to as "normitis," or normificus-infectivitis, in which a person, place, or thing is consumed by outsiders, normies, parents, teachers, etc. Some of the normies, mothers, etc., are confused on it's actual meaning. (See ex.b)

"Yes you are! You're saying LOL!"
