ABOUT /LMAO

Lmao Initialism of laughing my ass off; used to indicate great amusement, usually exaggerated, at something (usually from an online source, for example, a discussion group, or an instant message). Typically people use it in written conversations to show that they think something is funny. You can think of it as a stronger version of lol, which stands for laughing out loud. Lmao came about at the beginning of 1990s, and the people who used it first were early adopters of online communication. Today, it’s a part of textspeak and Internet slang. After all, it’s a lot more convenient to write lmao than “that was funny” or “that really made me laugh.” There are a couple of ways you can build on lmao to show that you’re really, really laughing. Writing the acronym in all caps is one of the ways, but you can also add o’s to the end of the abbreviation: lmaoo is laughing my ass off and off. Some people also add the f-word, to get lmfao.
