Default The evolution of internet speach
When did LoL change from meaning Lots of Laughs or Laugh out Loud to: I really don't have anything important to say ?

Context:

18 Shammy LFG... LOL

WTB thing of the uber.. lol

and while on this topic WTF is a LUL ?! (I'm assuming lulz has nothing to do with reducing agro on mobs?)

Anyhow...

lol

Lulz are an end unto themselves, my friend, and you'd do well to remember that always. Hope I've evaporated any and all confusion.
