BWL is often used as an interjection. (An interjection is not grammatically related to any other part of the sentence. It is included in a sentence to express a sentiment such as surprise, disgust, joy, excitement, or enthusiasm.)

BWL is an initialism abbreviation. Technically, this means it is pronounced using its individual letters (i.e., Bee Dublyu Ell ), but as this is harder to say than "Bursting with Laughter," it is not often uttered using its letters. In other words, the abbreviation BWL is for efficiency in writing.
