Online laughs with a girl (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lola

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'girl' is the definition.

'online laughs with a' is the wordplay.
'online laughs' becomes 'lol' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'lol'+'a'='LOLA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lola that I've seen before include "Whatever -- wants (song); -- Montez, mistress of Ludwig I" , "song by 4 [THE KINKS]" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
