Well, Adel. I really didn't know the meaning of this word, even though I am 3 months old here on forums. Actually I never tried to get the meaning of this word, it may looks strange but really I didn't know it before. By the way thanks for your reply.

Yes Annavi, I also wonder that being here on myLot for long time though how I don't know the meaning of such abbreviations? Well, I have used emoticons here, but just never paid attention on them. By the way thanks for sharing. Take care.

As what others said it is Laugh Out Loud. The first time I heard it of course it was kinda weird for me but now I am often using that when I really laugh. But at times it is becoming an expression. Here in the Philippines other people misinterpreted that LOL into ULOL word because ulol or ulul means you are crazy and that is the expression using when the person is funny or at times if others are being angry to another person.
