Have you ever thought about the way you laugh? Perhaps you spend a lot of time thinking about it, worrying you (could anything this terrible happen?) snort. Laughter can be creepy too, i.e. the evil, Wicked Witch of the West laugh, but most of the time it is happy. You know, colon capital d, lol, rainbows, and babies happy. There are many types of laughs:
1. The giggle crescendo- starts as a quiet hehe, but escalates into a fit of unsurpassable giggles that has you rolling on the floor.
2. Musical laugh- people whose laugh gets higher and lower, like they are practicing their scale instead of laughing.
3. Forced laugh- there are two kinds of forced laughter (lookie, another sub-list)
a. Sarcastic- you know what it is, mean, derisive (vocab superstar) laugh that is used to absolutely annihilate someone’s joke. Out of context it sounds super creepy.
b. Wizard of Oz- the “ha ha ha, ho ho ho, and a couple of tralalas” laugh. The joke is not funny, at all, but you want to be nice, not like the person in a.
4. Knee slapper- a real, genuine laugh that makes you convulse so hard that you you slap your knees. Occasionally, some will begin to clap like a seal.
5. Silent laugh- something is so funny that laughing out loud is not enough to convay your amusement. You silently shake, rocking back and forth like your having a seizure.
6. Squeak- I have been told that I have a squeaky laugh. Described as sounding like a cat dying, I can’t breathe when I laugh and make a terrible screeching noise gasping for air. It is similar to a highly amused harpy.
So I hope you laugh soon. I also hope I can post again I soon.
The names of the two stone lions in front of the New York Public Library are Patience and Fortitude.
