I Am Fighting for My Life Not to Laugh
What it does
Catastrophic amusement contained for the sake of manners, employment, or somebody's feelings.
Use it when
- A formal setting becomes absurd.
- Eye contact threatens composure.
- Laughter would be socially disastrous.
For example
- The solemn presenter says ‘public duckument’ and continues.
- Your friend’s chair squeaks during the moment of silence.
- The judge asks the costumed mascot to state its name for the record.
