laughs with
Joins in chuckling
To laugh with someone is to share in their amusement, laughing alongside them rather than at their expense.
The phrase often distinguishes friendly humor from mockery: We're laughing with you, not at you.
This distinction matters—laughing with implies solidarity and shared joy, while laughing at suggests ridicule.
