Can You Chuckle Hysterically?

By Andrew on Nov 15, 2005 | In General | Send feedback »

Yesterday I made a comment and said "chuckle hysterically." After thinking about it, I realized that you cannot, in fact, chuckle hysterically. I believe the very nature of the chuckle is that it is a more reserved expression of mirth. It may even be used as a sarcastic reaction, but still not enthusiastically. It should be executed with a hum-drum tone.
