LMAO is an acronym used in computer communication. It is meant to express the idea of an individual laughing heartily. The acronym stands for "Laughing My A** Off", or "Laugh My A** Off".

LMAO = Laughing my ass off or LMBO = Laughing my butt off (for those somewhat sensitive about using the other word)

Figuratively, good.
Literally, very bad.

I don't believe that this question is serious, but anyway:

"LOL, an abbreviation for laughing out loud, or laugh out loud, is a common element of Internet slang. It was used historically on Usenet but is now widespread in other forms of computer-mediated communication, and even face-to-face communication. It is one of many initialisms for expressing bodily reactions, in particular laughter, as text, including initialisms for more emphatic expressions of laughter such as LMAO ("laughing my arse/ass off"), ROTFL ("roll(ing) on the floor laughing") or ROFL ("roll(ing) on [the] floor laughing"), and BWL ("bursting with laughter", above which there is "no greater compliment" according to technology columnist Larry Magid). Other unrelated expansions include the now mostly historical "lots of luck" or "lots of love" used in letter-writing."

You use a computer and you do NOT know what it means ?
The poor girl was probably too embarrassed to say it because it contains a naughty word.
You silly man!
LMAO!

It means "laughing my ass off". It's not a slang word for drugs at all. It's an equivalent of "lol", which means "laughing out loud". Next time you're confused about abbreviations, come to this website or look it up on Google before grounding and spanking her. It's possible that she's afraid of you considering you spanked her over that.

In addition to the other answers, I would point out that LMFAO stands for "Laughing My Farting Ass Off". If she starts using this, search her room for concealed cans of baked beans.

- No. The "f" in that one stands for f***ing. I'm assuming you're joking, though, right?

English is a difficult language to learn in the first place, but it's made a lot harder because we use so much slang and other sayings that don't make any sense to non-English speakers ... or even to a lot a native English speakers ... here's a good website where you can type in strange terms like lmao and get a definition: Urban Dictionary
