"so hard it hurts like hell", I guess

I'm sure there is some name for a clinical condition similar to
what JYS Czhang has -- something like "gelotolepsy", though I
have a feeling that I invented that & it's not the correct term.

ObConlangish: For some reason, in my usage (as writer & reader)
LOL, ROTFL, etc. have to be literally true for them to be used
correctly. Livagian too has a class of words, such as those
for promises, declarations of love, No-that-reaaly-means-No,
etc., that must be used honestly and without irony. To utter
them insincerely, even if the insincerity misleads noone, is
seen as at best in very bad taste and at worst as intolerably
antisocial.
