So as in laugh out loud? Or laughing out loud, though David Cameron thought it stood for lots of love and used to sign off to Rebekah Brooks, the former Sun and News of the World editor, with a LOL. I'm LOL-ing at his LOL mishap. Well, you shouldn't. Why? Because anyone who still LOLs is not cool. Laughing out loud is no longer acceptable? No, using LOL in a text or a WhatsApp is no longer acceptable. Says who? It's according to gen Z.
