LOL
From GotFrag eSports Wiki
LOL is a common element in the internet and gaming slang used mostly in computer-mediated communication such as instant messaging, and even spread to face-to-face communication. It is an acronym for "laughing out loud" or "laugh out loud" or, less commonly, "lots of luck" or "lots of love". "LOL" is one of many initialisms for expressing bodily reactions, in particular laughter, as text, including initialisms such as "ROFL" (or "ROTFL")("roll(ing) on the floor laughing"), a more emphatic expression of laughter, "LMAO" ("laughing my ass off").ROFL and LMAO are sometimes combined into ROFLMAO (rolling on floor laughing my ass off).

"LOL", "ROFL","LMAO", and the other initialisms have crossed from computer-mediated communication to face-to-face communication. People now sometimes use them in spoken communication as well as in written.
