Lots of luck. I didnt know what this meant for a long time. There are many initial things on the internet you never see in real in print anywhere else.

Actually, I always thought it meant "Laugh Out Loud" I use it all the time. If you notice, people usually write LOL when they write something funny! My dad is a computer addict and he knows all the acronyms, he says it's definately Laugh Out Loud. Also, there is ROTFLMAO which is "Rolling on the Floor Laughing Laughing My A-- OFF" among many other variations. I do like Bob's explanation as well, although I think that's more like when you are signing a Hallmark card or something... :) LOL!

There's a great website called www.acronymfinder.com. It has hundres of acronyms and their explanations. It's actually kind of fun to just go and play around with it.

I don't agree that it stands for Lots Of Luck...it stands for Laughing Out Loud. If you go to any chat room, you'll notice that if it meant lots of luck, it wouldn't make sense at all. It's Laughing Out Loud. BTW is By The Way, OMG is Oh My God...

LOL! Internet abbreviations...there's a whole bunch of them that are used. BTW = by the way, IMHO = in my humble opinion, rofl = roll on floor laughing... Took me a long time to figure them out and I had to ask too! :)

I've always used it as Laugh Out Loud...but I know someone who insists it means Lots of Love.
