What a dope

[alainbryden]

You're right, "lol" is an abbreviation for an onomotopoeia.

Shit. If you're right then I just spelled onomotopoeia wrong 6 times on my grade 12 final english Exam today! (onomotopoea)

Onomatopoeia is the exact, but close enough. Alain was way off 6 times on a major test.

And it's not an abbreviation, it's an acronym. Each letter stands for a word. But it's a crappy acronym that needs to die or be killed.
