1. acronym for "i reaLy can't think Of anything eLse to say", often used in online forums and chat.
2. acronym for "Laughing Out Loud", also used in online forums and chat (archaic).
Intention is signalled by how it is written:
a. lol = yeah, I'm bored
b. lol... = this is awkward...
c. lol! = that's amusing
d. LOL = that's very amusing; but I still didn't laugh
e. LOL! = not only was that amusing, but I might have actually LAUGHED OUT LOUD
The term has generally been replacd with "haha" to indicate that you found it amusing, as "lol" is often seen as dismissive.

You've done something morally ambiguous. You're a little ashamed but you need some reassuring that you're not a dirty little slag. So you go for the "lol?" and they go "HELL YEAH". Then your fine. Works a dream.
