Today's idiom is

adj. phr., informal
Laughing so hard the the sides of one's body ache;
in a fit of laughing hard.
"The comedian was so funny that he had
everyone who was watching him in stitches."
(Everyone laughed at the comedian
until it hurt to laugh any more.)
I knew the word “stitch” as a particular mode of disposing the thread in sewing.
ReplyDeleteThis post told me another meaning of stitch as a sudden, sharp pain in one’s sides.
You're right Masa, people often get a stitch from exercise without a proper warm up.
