लोटपोट (lotpot)

adjective Almost always used in the fixed phrase लोटपोट हो जाना (lotpot ho jaanaa) meaning to be doubled over/rolling with laughter.
Sense 1 : rolling about (with laughter)
adjective Used almost exclusively with हो जाना (ho jaanaa) as the frame: X हँसी में लोटपोट हो गया (X hansii men lotpot ho gayaa, 'X was doubled over with laughter').
Synonyms: बेहाल (behaal), पागल (paagal, informal, used loosely for 'crazy with laughter')
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: The word paints a physical image: लोटना (lotnaa) means 'to roll around,' so लोटपोट (lotpot) literally evokes someone rolling on the ground or floor from laughing so hard -- much more vivid than a flat 'very funny.' You will hear it a lot in casual storytelling: किस्सा सुनकर सब लोटपोट हो गए (kissaa sunkar sab lotpot ho gae, 'everyone was in stitches hearing the story').
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners try to use लोटपोट (lotpot) as a standalone adjective before a noun (like 'a funny joke'), but it only describes the *state a person falls into* from laughing, not the thing that caused the laughter. 2) It is almost never used without हो जाना (ho jaanaa) or करना (karnaa); saying just वह लोटपोट था (vah lotpot thaa) sounds incomplete to native ears compared to वह हँसी में लोटपोट हो गया (vah hansii men lotpot ho gayaa).
