What does LMAO mean?

A common question we get is “What does LMAO stand for?”

LMAO, or L-M-A-O, pronounced [EL - EM - AE - OH] is an acronym that stands for “Laughing My Ass Off” and is used when something is really funny. Though more commonly used online, LMAO is pronounced “El Em Ay Oh” and often shortened to sound like “Luh Mao” or “El Mayo” when used in conversation.

Some people say that LMAO stands for “Laughing My Ankles Off,” “Lick Me All Over,” or “Laughing My Arms Off,” but those people are wrong.
