gay The adjective describing something as LOL inducing is “lolificatious”, or the more commonly accepted “funny”. In informal contexts it may be spelled using lowercase as lol, but in formal contexts it should always be spelled in uppercase as LOL since etymologically it derives from an acronym (i.e. “Let’s Order Linguini”).
The German conjugation of this Leitwort verb is as follows:
- ich LOLle
- du LOLlst
- er/sie/es LOLlt
- wir LOLlen
- ihr LOLlt
- sie LOLlen
In Russian the verb is LOLить. Note that it is not ЛОЛить which means something completely different. As a second conjugation verb, it is typical:
- я LOLю
- ты LÓLишь
- он/она/оно LÓLит
- мы LÓLим
- вы LÓLите
- они LÓLят
- я/ты/он LOLи́л
- я/ты/она LOLи́ла
- оно LOLи́ло
- мы/вы/они LOLи́ли
The simple perfective of LOLить is naturally поLOLить. The reflexive form *LOLиться is not attested, this is probably due to the conceptual difficulty of obtaining lulz at one’s own expense.
The French variation is LOLer, and is conjugated as follows (WARNING: Recite with caution; may cause random spasms of anti-Americanism!):
- je LOLe
- tu LOLes
- il/elle/on LOLe

- ils/elles LOLent
The Spanish version is LOLar, which you can use from now on to do the lol on Mexicans

- Ustedes/Ellos/ellas LOLean
