What Does LMAO Mean?​

Quick answer: "Laughing my ass off."​

LMAO is one of many common words used in text messaging, instant messaging, chatting, and on Facebook and Twitter. At one time or another, you've probably seen this Internet slang. Did you wonder what it meant? Did you know it could have more than one meaning?

LMAO is an acronym that stands for Laughing My Ass Off. Many people say (or text) this acronym when they find something particularly funny. Sometimes, when a person finds something extremely funny, they say LMFAO. This is almost identical in meaning but has the "F" word added to it to create Laughing My F**king A** Off. This one, however, is considered to be vulgar and is probably NSFW (not safe for work.)

Another acronym used with LMAO is ROFL. People often say "ROFLMAO" which is used to signify something is even more hilarious! ROFL means "rolling on the floor laughing."

Common Text Terms, Internet Abbreviations, & Chat Acronyms

Netspeak vs. Leetspeak

Words such as LOL (meaning laugh out loud), LMAO, and LMFAO make up what is called netspeak, also sometimes called chatspeak. A large number of people on sites like Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter use these acronyms and abbreviations. However, many were used before these websites even existed.

Netspeak is also related to leetspeak, a language developed by hackers which allowed them to slip past email filters. Leetspeak works by substituting letters with numbers or different letters that are similar in appearance. For example, the letter E would be replaced with the number 3. Spelling may also be slightly altered in some words. In fact, the term leet in the very name of the language is often written as 1337. Leetspeak became popular and is no longer used solely by hackers. While it did gain popularity, it still isn't a huge part of social networking sites like Facebook. It is mostly used by online gamers, programmers (most hackers are programmers), and forum posters.


Examples of Leetspeak
· ski11z = skills
· 1337 = leet
· haxxor = hacker
· n00b = noob, newbie (This means a newcomer and is usually meant as an insult.)

This is called knowledge, but, of course useful knowledge come first which I will use it, then cosmetic one comes later or from time to time.
