LMAO is one of the many abbreviations that are commonly used when texting on the computer. It actually means "laughing my @ss off."
When you chat on a regular basis, there are several of these abbreviations that you will see.
LOL = laughing out loud
HAGN = have a good night
CU = See you
etc. The more that you chat, the more natural these will be for you.

An alternative (which may be used more by English people) is 'PMSL', which stands for 'pissing myself laughing'.

Thanks for asking this question! I was wondering, too, what it meant! So now we know, not sure if I would use the abbreviation though. LOL will do me fine actually! :)

I look at the dictionary and there's no such vocabulary. Maybe it depends on how it is used in the sentence or it may be just a vernacular word or ab acronym. I don't know also, I'm so sorry.
