Guest guest Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Janet, In addition to Lots of Love, the LOL usually stands for Laughing Out Loud. Sometimes I have seen it ROFLOL, which is Rolling On Floor, Laughing Out Loud. There's all kinds of cyber-slang. Stick around, you'll get used to it, and learn what it all stands for. Take care, Laurel Please explain > Hi group, > When reading the messages, I often see " LOL " , can someone tell me > what this means? > Janet > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 As long as we're talking about " medical " abbreviations now, I'll bet that many do not know the very legitimate one " SOB " . It stands for shortness of breath. What were YOU thinking?
