笑拉了

Chinese Slang Chinese ★★★★ 4/5 casual xiào lā le
Pinyin xiào lā le
Hanzi breakdown 笑 (laugh) + 拉了 (collapsed / lost control in slangy exaggeration) -> laughed extremely hard.

Meaning

To laugh extremely hard; roughly "I am dying laughing."

It is an exaggerated reaction to a very funny post, mistake, or line. Keep it for informal chat because 拉了 is deliberately crude-sounding exaggeration but not explicit here.

  2. 评论区比正文还好笑,笑拉了。 The comments section is funnier than the main post, I'm cracking up.
