History

Etymology

A corruption of lol, probably a leet variation, treated as if it were a noun rather than an interjection and pluralized in a deliberately unconventional manner using the -z suffix.

LOL (Initialism of laughing out loud.) + -z (Eye dialect spelling variant of the plural suffix -s.)
