--> Looking into 120 we find that:

"120" is computer hacker speak for the common chatroom term "LOL!" which often stands for "Laughing Out Loud!"

We examine the "LOL" and the "!" separately:

In the 'hacker language' known as 1337, the letters "LOL" are translated as "101"
This is because Ls resemble ones and Os resemble zeros.

The number "101" is the binary equivalent of the decimal number "5"
This is because 1(x1) + 0(x2) + 1(x4) = 5

If you take this 5 and follow it by "!" (as in the original term LOL!) that gives you 5!

5! is the mathematical representation for "5 factorial," the calculated value of which is 120

Therefore, LOL! = 101! = 5! = 120

Indeed!

Some kids in my school started referring to marijuana as "ROFL". Months later, my friend heard somebody use it in South Carolina.
Maybe it was a coincidence.
