I don't think the LOL thing had changed as 'lol' is passive aggressive, whereas 'LOL' means it's hella funny.

Another rule I think of is that ending sentences with periods is seen as passive aggressive, but I do that all the time (that rule's bull).

LOL means Lots Of Love

"She didn't make it. She's dead ๐Ÿ˜ญ"

"OMG LOL"

ROFL: Respecting Others' Feelings Lovingly

LMFAO: Loving Mindfully For All Others.

I forget what ROFLMAO is. That's probably why I don't get invited for the holidays anymore.

"LOL" is laughing out loud

"lol" is a person with their arms raised. ๐Ÿ˜Œ
