A acronym that is extremely overused, and it stands for "laugh out loud".
Usages:
1. It means, "I really didn't laugh out loud at all, I really typed this because I would feel awkward and judged if I didn't."
2. "I'm really just afraid of what you think of me, so if I type 'lol' then I do not have to worry about you taking anything I say seriously."
3. "I just said something that is potentially embarrassing, I should follow up with an 'lol' just in case."
4. "I am not eloquent enough to think of anything better to say than 'lol'."
1. Person 1: "So then I said, 'That wasn't a gynecologist, that was a pediatrician!'"
Person 2: "lol"
2. Person 1: "I love you..." (Why I am telling you this through text or IM, I do not know.)
Person 2: *no reply*
Person 1: "Um! LOL! HAHA!"
3. Person 1: "I just joined a cult where we slaughter baby rabbits and drink their blood."
Person 2: "!!!"
Person 1: "LOL!"
4. Person 1: "So what are your theories on the space time continuum?"
Person 2: "Uh, lol!"

An acronym that once meant "Laugh Out Loud,"/"Laughing Out Loud." It has been overused and the meaning has come to be "Well this is awkward," or "I just said something mean, I hope 3 letters will make it sound less harsh." Often typed "Lol" or "lol." Rarely used in all capitals.
Not to be confused with "Lots Of Love."
Pronunciation: "L-O-L" or "Lawl."
(1) I hate your guts! Lol.
(2) Guy A: so...
Guy B: yea
Guy A: lol

In the late 1990's-Early 2000's, this internet slang term's meaning was literally 'laugh out loud', and was used to express the laughter of the user of the term. In these times, the term was used appropriately and was not over-used.
Nowadays, the term is overused to the point that people loathe the usage of the term. It is now used to simply attempt to advance the conversation, but often instead kills the conversation. The term is also used when the person is not paying any attention to the conversation, and has nothing relevant to say. The person will then reply with 'lol', and the conversation will be effectively ended. The slang terms 'XD', 'hahaha' and such are occasionally used instead.
The term is also often used by the younger generation in actual real-life conversations, which has the same meaning as its new meaning.
Original example:
Person 1: I just finished watching <funny movie name>, and <name> said <funny line>.
Person 2: Lol! (Person 2 is genuinely laughing at Person 1's statement).
New Internet meaning:
Person 1: I was walking down the street today, and someone blew smoke in my face.
(Five minute wait)
Person 2: Lol (Person 2 is using the term as a way to attempt to advance the conversation, which has now been killed by Person 2's statement).
Real-life conversation usage: Same as meaning 2
