    According to the Urban Dictionary:

    kiddo Someone who is at least slightly younger than you in age, but so aptly intellectual as to have the best of both worlds.



    lol It's original definition was "Laughing out loud" (also written occasionally as "Lots of Laughs"), used as a brief acronym to denote great amusement in chat conversations.

    Now, it is overused to the point where nobody laughs out loud when they say it. In fact, they probably don't even give a shit about what you just wrote. More accurately, the acronym "lol" should be redefined as "Lack of laughter."

    Depending on the chatter, its definition may vary. The list of its meanings includes, but is not limited to:
    1) "I have nothing worthwhile to contribute to this conversation."
    2) "I'm too lazy to read what you just wrote so I'm typing something useless in hopes that you'll think I'm still paying attention."
    3) "Your statement lacks even the vaguest trace of humor but I'll pretend I'm amused."
    4) "This is a pointless acronym I'm sticking in my sentence just because it's become so engraved into my mind that when chatting, I MUST use the meaningless sentence-filler 'lol.'"

    Hope it helps!

    Wooow! Thank you very much for your reply! I´m very surprised! What amount of meaning!!
    But I still have a doubt...what does lol means if I say: What´s that lol?
    I thought "lol" was something similar to "fellow" or "buddy"... as "lil" is little....but now I think I´m wrong!

    Thanks again for your help

    ¿Alguien sabe alguna palabra que quiera decir lo mismo en español para que lo entienda mejor?

    "Laugh out loud" is the most common meaning of this expression. But you can have more info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOL_%28Internet_slang%29

    Hope it helps!


    I've found something else:
    LOL: acrónimo de "Loser on Line", "Laughing Out Loud","Lord of Loser", también "Lot Of Laughs", risa ruidosa o carcajada es su traducción al castellano. JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

    A big laugh JAJAJAJAJAJA that's what we do in spanish chat


    I guess the equivalent is jajajaja or "xD" like a face that is laughing... I've seen it many times.

    Hope it helps!
