It means "Land-O-Lakes". Pretty much when you see that you're supposed to go to the fridge and eat all your butter.

JTLYK, try googling "internet abbreviations".

YMMV however.

I can't stand lol... everytime I see it, I think of "loll" and I imagine that anyone saying it has just got a case of the drowsies and their head just fell to their chests.

Can't stand IMHO either... but I still use it... grumble.

That's not new. TTFN, I heard that alot in the early 90s. It's the current kid slang, like rad and cowabunga was in the 90s.

Interesting - here it got popular from the Winnie The Pooh cartoons, but I didn't know it was commonly used before Disney picked it up!

That's because it was picked up from us by US soldiers over here during WWII..... No doubt some of them then went on to work for Disney and took it with them. It's interesting because the phrase doesn't appear in any of the original AA Milne Pooh Bear books.

Holy crap! Twenty five replies for a simple question.

You guys crack me up. Well at least I know what it means now.

I just don't know if I can use it now without feeling like a copy cat.

LOL LOL LOL LOL LO........... it just doesn't feel right.

I'm going to come up with my own and make everyone feel dumb for not knowing what the heck it means. How about @#vbn naw that looks like when Q-bert curses. I must give this thought and meditation.

mark shaker · « **Reply #28 on:** March 02, 2006, 07:50:28 pm »

Why was I not notified when the meaning of LOL changed?

Sure now it's "Laugh Out Loud", but for many prior decades it was "Lots of Luck".

I every now and then say LOL irl, but primarily to my wife and exclusively to make her angry. I also sometimes say "shrug" instead of shrugging my shoulders, to similar effect. And perhaps best of all is when I cop some Tyra Banks attitude and say "O. M. G. !!!!!"

This reminds me of when my g/f was texting a friend and she said "LMAO"
he said "what does that mean?"
-- "Laughing ---my bottom--- off!"
and he said " You don't have to laugh at me just tell me what it means!" and this went on for a while.

She also posted something on Myspace from her cell phone and it said "posted from mobile." This same guy asked "What are you doing in Mobile?" (Mobile is a neighboring town here in Alabama, BTW)

Probably funnier if you live down here..
