Lol

Originally MY NAME before idiotic internet types started using it as a replacement for the emotional response known as laughter, whilst chatting (read typing blankly) to one another online.

Now taken to mean 'laugh out loud' by the entire population, thus negating the need for any real expression of amusement, and making me look like a weirdo named after a chatroom abbreviation.

New potential friend: Hey nice to meet you, I'm Sarah.

Lol: Oh hi, I'm Lol

New potential friend: Oh right like Laugh Out Loud? Why d'you call yourself that then?

Lol: I was Lol years before the whole lol thing started, my Mum called me it from birth! FROM BIRTH!! Goddammit!!!

New potential friend: Ok....I have to go...

Originally Meaning "Laughing Out Loud".
Since it has now just become a way to show something is funny with laughing out loud being optional, it means "Laughing On Line"

Person 1 says:
No, Laughing On Line
Person 1 says:

Its origin is "Laughing out Loud". But it has become so overused that it's scarcely expressing humour anymore. Todays meaning is more like "OMG that is so lame!"

Person 1: You want to come over and watch Clueless?

Person 2: lol

Two people are walking on the street, talking. A guy in a spotted Hawaii-shirt passes by. The two friends: lol!
