LOL
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LOL is an internet slang term that means "laugh out loud" or, less commonly, "lots of love". It also means mute in Persian and is a native Dutch word (not an acronym) which means "fun" ("lolling" means "funny").
In Welsh, lol means nonsense - e.g., if a person wanted to say "utter nonsense" in Welsh, they would say "rwtsh lol".[1] LOL is usually used on the internet or when text messaging.[2]
