LOLZ

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

LOLZ

1. (Internet slang, leetspeak) Alternative form of LOL

The final Z serves only to make the acronym look like a plural noun, or, more commonly, as a mockery of those who use z to pluralize other nouns, as opposed to s. The mockery of such people is often not done in any kind of specific context, but usually as a way to lighten up a conversation.
