"Lol is a native Dutch word (not an acronym) which, coincidentally, means "fun" ("lollig" means "funny")."

[Miami]

'lol', 'rofl', 'lmao' etc etc, and all other short terms origionated from text messaging / SMS and was called 'Text language'.

Way back in the 90s when text msging began on phones, it was being used..
But later on when the internet became more and more popular especially, with online games, people have used the shorthand text terms and created more shorthand words too.

'lol' has been around longer than you think

Lol started as an native dutch word, then people token it over and it first came on Usenet and IRC. Then in 90's, it was used in SMS, then the young generation toked the word over and almost every second someone says or types "lol" or "lawl" in their computer or mounth.
