What is LOL please?

[Andyvon]

Oh dear, I hope I'm not asking a question with too obvious an answer. I've noticed that many ABers replying to posts sometimes end their reply with the letters 'lol', or they simply type that as a reply.

Sorry, but I don't know what it means. Can anyone tell me please?

[squarebear]

Me too.

[anneasquith]

if you dont put lol. at the end of an answer, some abers jump out from behind the bushes an SHOUT at you. its difficult to translate a sense of humour at times, especially to the non scottish abers , and the females lol! ps i am a female .

[cherry_c_s]

Lots of love ?

[Bobbisox]

I use lol all the time, to me it indicates I am in a 'happy' mood, some people don't like it but who cares? as long as it isn't interpreted to Lots of Love , then I am happy...LOL X

[squarebear]

lack of literacy?

[cherry_c_s]

Damn bobbi :( , so all them lol's weren't love ......away to cry now xxxx

[Bobbisox]

in a lot of cases sb...hopefully not mine ;-(

[Booldawg]

bless my mum, she thought it meant 'Lots of Love'; got a text from her saying; 'Your Grandma has just died, LOL'

[Quizmonster]

Fred, I actually suggested in my earlier response what one could use instead. My proposed acronym represented a straightforward statement of fact rather than an ambiguous, silly or even meaningless one. It does not require the next sentence to begin in any particular way. Thus, I might write, "ILOL at Fred" in reference to an earlier contribution from your good self to a thread...maybe even this one!

ROFL

[Bobbisox]

sorry cherry,,,LOL

[dennisb66]

A message to a loved one ending in LOL means Lots of Love,so your mum wasn't out of order Booldawg.

[ABerrant]

'Lol' is a Welsh word that translates as 'nonsense', the synchronicity of which is astounding.

Thanks for the info.......

[cherry_c_s]

lol to you to bobbi xx

[vivandorron]

Hi Andyvon...No need to have apologised for not knowing what was meant by LOL. I didn't really know until about 8/9months back. Just kept wondering why so many ladies kept sending me lots of love.

Anyway, although a number of ABers have given to you a few 'clickable links' I would like to add to the list.
