die laughing
Expire from hilarity
Die laughing means to laugh so hard it feels overwhelming or uncontrollable: I almost died laughing when he fell off the stage.
The phrase is always hyperbolic—no one actually dies.
It emphasizes that something was extremely funny.
Sometimes appears as to die: Stop, you're killing me!
