I was quick to correct him that it stood for "laugh out loud". I realized that it could include his suggested 2nd meaning, but that the original was "laugh out loud" and continues to be the popular interpretation. He was rock solid on his stance though and he threatened to prove it to me online... Well Tyler, I beat you to it and here's the proof: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOL_%28Internet_slang%29" target="_blank">LOL - "laugh out loud"</a> ("or less commonly 'lots of laughs'")<br />
