Marketing bollocks, buzzword bingo, or your mum saying "fudge" when she really wants to swear like a trooper. Let's ride the hockey stick curve of this top hat product, solutioneers.

Thanks to simbosan for the idea

It's annoying even when they DO mean it in the context of just having noticed something funny.
LOL = laughing out loud, literally.

But 99% of the time people type this on the internet they are not, in fact, laughing out loud: they just happen to be mildly amused.

I've spoken to someone over a webcam/msn
and they've tacked a LOL on to a message and I could clearly see that they weren't laughing, nevermind out loud.

I rest my case
I only use the 'lol' if the incident is genuinely funny, otherwise if I'm mildly amused Id just go 'heh' or something simalar
