dying laughing

Overcome with mirth

Dying laughing describes laughing so hard it feels physically overwhelming—as if you might collapse or expire from the intensity.

The phrase is hyperbolic: I was dying laughing at that video.

It emphasizes genuine, uncontrollable amusement rather than polite laughter.
