similar expressions to 'you kill me' Tue Dec 18, 2007 11:03 am  similar expressions to 'you kill me'
 

When I laugh at my friend's joke or funny story, and then I could say 'you kill me', right? It's like 'you make me laugh to death'(it would be a weird expression, I guess). Are there other similar expressions to the sentence? Any idioms or expressions would be welcomed!

Hi,

Another expression is 'You slay me' and 'You'll be the death of me'. The first one of course can be used sarcastically and the second one can also be used in an entirely unpleasant way. But in the sense you have indicated in your example they both mean that they make you laugh and laugh.
