笑わら
笑 is the kanji for 'laugh' and is often used as a suffix in online slang (e.g., ワロタ, クソワロタ). ワロス is a more casual, phonetic rendering of the same idea.
草くさ
草 (kusa, 'grass') is another internet slang for laughter, derived from the visual resemblance of many 'w' characters to grass. ワロス is a direct phonetic expression, while 草 is a more symbolic one.

Etymology

Derived from the verb 笑う (warau, 'to laugh'), with the ending す possibly influenced by classical or dialectal verb forms, or simply a playful alteration. The exact derivation is uncertain, but it is clearly rooted in the concept of laughter.
