creasing
Forming fold lines
Creasing is the formation of creases—lines or ridges made by folding or pressing.
It describes both the action and its result: The creasing of the paper was deliberate, years of creasing had softened the leather.
In British slang, creasing means laughing uncontrollably: We were absolutely creasing at his story.
