It's original definition was "Laughing out loud" (also written occasionally as "Lots of Laughs"), used as a brief acronym to denote great amusement in chat conversations.

Now, it is overused to the point where nobody laughs out loud when they say it. In fact, they probably don't even give a shit about what you just wrote. More accurately, the acronym "lol" should be redefined as "Lack of laughter."

Depending on the chatter, its definition may vary. The list of its meanings includes, but is not limited to:
1) "I have nothing worthwhile to contribute to this conversation."
2) "I'm too lazy to read what you just wrote so I'm typing something useless in hopes that you'll think I'm still paying attention."
3) "Your statement lacks even the vaguest trace of humor but I'll pretend I'm amused."
4) "This is a pointless acronym I'm sticking in my sentence just because it's become so engraved into my mind that when chatting, I MUST use the meaningless sentence-filler 'lol.'"

See: lmao, lmfao, rofl, lawl, heh, haha, lolol, and 120 for similarities.

120 is an elite, nerdy way of saying "LOL!" See 5.

LOL means "Laughing out loud" and is a common acronym used in chatting everywhere.

LOL (or lol), written in 1337 is 101.
101 in binary is equal to 5 in decimal.
The factorial of five (5!) is 120.

So, the factorial of LOL (5) is 120. LOL! = 120

1) An insult used when no other can be thought of or when all others have been used up.

2) One who is extremely clueless or unskilled, especially in the fields of mathematics and computers; the opposite of a geek or nerd

It's ª smªll 'a' rªsied in the ªir. Nobody reªlly knows whªt it's for but it mªkes you feel speciªl to use it, just becuªse n00bs will wonder how you typed it.

See 5 and 120 for an explanation.

calkfreak83: Just to make things weirder, we should start saying "120d".

120d = "LOL!", just use 120d in replacement of it.

Combinations of curse words are typically used for insults when angrier than usual. This one, for unknown reasons, sounds better than most others and continues to be used by many in random explosions of anger.

"All the time" or "constantly."

It's derived from the term 24/7. 24/7 is actually a fraction, so we can calculate it in its repeating decimal form. 24/7=3.428571...

"3.4" is just used because it's much easier to type and say than the previously mentioned decimal equivalent.
