What is LOL, and What Does it Stand for?

Hello My Online Internet Journal Readers,

What is LOL? That questions seems to keep coming up to all new users of the "text message/instant messaging" world. The people who really want to know are the parents and caregivers of the teenagers that seemingly live on an electronic device nowadays.

So, what does LOL stand for? It stands for "laugh out loud". You use it in response to a phrase, or joke, or story someone tells you over your instant message, text message, email, or other communication method. What's ironic is that people who respond, or write, "laugh out loud" almost never really laugh when reading or writing it. Maybe a smile at the most. Go figure. So there you have it.

Until next time,
