Lollerskates is one of the first known variants of the Internet initialism LOL (laughing out loud).

Because of LOL's notoriety, Internet users began saying it as a monosyllabic word in itself, instead of pronouncing the letters individually ("El Oh El"), which many users found tedious in their accidental exclaimations of Internet slang in their everyday lives.

Two phonetic roots of LOL are the basis of every one of its extensions.

LOL, pronounced /law-l/

or

LOL, pronounced /low-l/

From these two roots, many word extensions can be formed to express merriment.
