Okay, I give. I'm sure it's a simple answer and I'll feel dumb for days, but I just have to know: What the heck does it mean - "LOL"?Thanks.

for newcomers: BITR - bump in the road ROTFLMAO - rolling on the floor laughing my ass off CDC - century date change FWIW - for what it's worth TPTB - the powers that be also it's "martial law" NOT "marshall law"

Shadow, For a long time I would wonder, "What the heck does 'Little Old Lady' have to do with anything?" 8^)

As others said, usually means "Laughing Out Loud." But I have also seen it very occasionally as "Lots of Luck". Context determines.
