    Three letters from the english language consisting of a "l" "o" and "l" in that order. While not an official word in the Merriam-Webster collection of words, or dictionary, it is widely used by the younger generations in a variety of telecommunications. This word falls under the category labeled "acronym" which is a fragmented sentence or phrase that has been shortened using the first letter of each word. This acronym lacks the completion marker "." which is known as a period. This is largely due to electronic forms of communication and the old limits of data transfers. The first "l" stands for laugh also known as a joyful expression made by pushing air from the esophagus while the mouth is open. The "o" stands for out which is a action marker which signifies the direction of a subject or object in a sentence. Finally the last "l" represents the word loud which describes the amount of decibels a sound wave makes to a human ear. This is generally high in decibels and easily picked up by the human ear. Other translations include colloquials such as "thats so funny", "hilarious", or "your use of english words to convey meaning and thought were registered and translated in my brain as something humorous in nature."
