LOL, an abbreviation for laughing out loud[1][2] or laugh out loud,[3] is a common element of net profit slang. It was used historically on Usenet but is now widespread in other forms of computer-mediated communication, and even face-to-face communication. It is one of some initialisms for expressing bodily reactions, in particular laughter, as text, including initialisms such as ROTFL[4][5][6][7] or ROFL [8] (roll(ing) on the floor laughing), a more than emphatic expression of laughter, and BWL (bursting with laughter), above which there is no greater compliment according to technology columnist Larry Magid.[9] another(prenominal) unrelated expansions include the now mostly historical tons of luck or lots of love used in letter-writing.[10]

The list of acronyms grows by the month,[4] and they are collected on with emoticons and smileys into folk dictionaries that are circulated informally amongst users of Usenet, IRC, and other forms of (textual) computer-mediated communication.[11] These initialisms of this term are controversial, and several authors recommend against their use, either in general or in specific contexts such as business communications.
