LMFAO:

The acronym LMAO stands for "laughing my ass off." It's used when you want to show that you're laughing hysterically at something, like a joke or a meme. If you see a funny video, for example, you might respond with "Lol" or a statement like "That's hilarious lmao."

LOL and ROFL, which stand for "laughing out loud" and "rolling on the floor laughing," respectively, are closely similar. Many people consider ROFL to be more dramatic and loud than LOL, as well as being roughly as expressive.

The history of lmao

The origins of LMAO can be traced back to the early 1990s, when online chat systems such as IRC and bulletin boards were gaining popularity. LMAO was first defined on Urban Dictionary in June of 2002, far earlier than the other initialisms we've discussed. The first entry for LMFAO, on the other hand, dates from 2003.
