laughed one's head off

Found something hilarious

To laugh one's head off is to laugh extremely hard, with abandon: The comedian had the whole audience laughing their heads off.

The exaggeration suggests laughter so intense it might detach your head from your body.

The possessive adjusts to fit the subject: I laughed my head off, She laughed her head off.
