WORDS TO USE INSTEAD OF: LAUGH / LAUGHED / LAUGHING

Do you ever find yourself over-using the verb “laugh” (or “laughed” or “laughing”) in your writing? Try using these words instead:

  • giggle / giggled / giggling
  • chuckle / chuckled / chuckling
  • snicker / snickered / snickering
  • cackle / cackled / cackling
  • guffaw / guffawed / guffawing
  • grin / grinned / grinning
  • titter / tittered / tittering
  • snort / snorted / snorting
  • chortle / chortled / chortling
  • howl / howled / howling
  • roar / roared / roaring
  • cachinnate / cachinnated / cachinnating
  • snigger / sniggered / sniggering
  • mock / mocked / mocking
  • crack up / cracked up / cracking up
  • bust a gut / busted a gut / busting a gut
  • in stitches / in stitches / in stitches
  • burst into laughter / burst into laughter / bursting into laughter
  • die of laughter / died of laughter / dying of laughter
  • split one’s sides / split one’s sides / splitting one’s sides

(NOTE: Keep in mind that all of these words have slightly different meanings and are associated with different emotions/scenarios.)
