Idiom: One is rolling on the floor for laughing so much! Tue Jul 01, 2008 0:32 am  Idiom: One is rolling on the floor for laughing so much!
 

in my native language we would say "one is rolling on the floor for laughing so much!" when one laughs a lot when something funny happens.

is there a similar idiom in English, please?

thanks

Hi

You can say someone is "rolling round the floor laughing" because of so much hilarity.

Also you could say "splitting their sides laughing". "Laughing so hard their sides hurt"

Are you translating an idiom from your native language here?

What about ROTFL - rolling on the floor laughing, or LOL - laughing out loud (been already discussed in this forum)?
