Definition

An acronym for 'I Am Laughing,' the more formal cousin of LOL for people who want to acknowledge humor without committing to actually laughing out loud. It's what you type when something is mildly amusing but not quite worthy of a full-blown laugh.

Example Usage

When my boss sent a dad joke in the team Slack, I responded with 'IAL' because actual laughter felt too generous.
