There isn't a single
American English accent in which "lol" is pronounced "lul". "lul" originated as a humorous/satirical truncation of "lulz", which itself was a satirical, trollish way of purposefully mispronouncing lol/lols with a drawling/lazy accent. "lel" is an even further humorous/satirical
418:
Both "lul" and "lel" have two meanings. They either are used to express genuine amusement but in a way that is slightly trollish and less cringey/mainstream than saying "lol"; or they are used to indicate a shallow laugh that is dismissive/condescending/sarcastic/satirical/mocking. Neither term
833:
Sources are all from the 2000s and doesn't properly cover uses like how "lol" is just a particle representing a casual tone and includes information that is no longer relevant. There's also too much pointless prescriptivism in here. This article doesn't cover modern usage of "lol" at all.
677:
In the first line it states that LOL, or lol, is an initialism, and whilst this was once true it is now an acronym as "lol" itself has become a word that is pronounced phonetically - such as "NASA" being an acronym, and DNA being an initialism.
1077:"kek: A term for laughter that originated in online games, possibly either World of Warcraft or Starcraft, the latter in which Korean players would type "kekeke" as onomatopoeia for laughter."
619:
584:
549:
874:
287:
306:
Although LOL is sometimes pronounced 'L.O.L.' (ell-oh-ell), more often than not people merely say 'lol', which would suggest to me that it could be considered an acronym. -
1088:
it is explained in more detail how "kek" apparently originated from WOW. Someone please research which version is true and correct accordingly. Kind regards,--
212:
Should add that in
Chinese one would also see 233 as a form of laughing. This is information is on the Chinese page already but lacking on the English page.

to have a picture of someone laughing it should be a clinical type picture, not some random famous person. I think it's distracting.
