Laugh out Loud?

It means 'laughs out loud'

LOL = Laugh(ing) Out Loud. Used to indicate that you found something funny or that what you've said is intended as a joke.

There's a list of these things here (http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/s/shorthan.htm) - many of them I've never seen used anywhere.
