Oh gosh. I gotta admit I rely too heavily on lol to show that I am not that serious. I have gotten better, but oh it slips out!

Now you have a new one, LOI!

How about LAY -- "laughing at you (not with you)"? that would come in handy, wouldn't it?

I often LOL and mean it, I also COL. But sometimes I snort, I'll just slip in SOL on those occasions.

Oh there is also STOS and SCOS - spit tea (coffee) over screen. How many of us have done that?

There are many words in all languages that doesn't mean what they originally did.

lol has become its own word that doesn't really mean what it originally was an abbreviation of.

Remember faggot is a bunch of sticks?

It's fun to explore the origins of a word. But trying to steer up the evolution of language is a futile effort.

Laughing my ass off
Rolls about the floor laughing my head off

I'm a little surprised no one has commented on the acronym for the acronym organization in my OP itself.

I know what you mean by that, bits wobbling everywhere (me that is).

I just LOL at something I read, my husband asked what was so funny - told him that it was a nude picture I posted on the internet of him.

I use "lol" a lot myself.

Maybe I can be a pure hippy and make it "lots o love".
