I'm screaming
Significado: An expression meaning something is extremely funny or shocking.
I'm screaming is the text-based equivalent of laughing so hard you scream. Nobody is actually screaming — it's hyperbole for 'this is hilarious.' Related expressions include 'I'm crying,' 'I'm dead,' and 'I'm howling.' The escalation from 'lol' to 'I'm screaming' reflects how internet humor keeps raising the bar.
