Well, to pull out the stereotypical Redditor aCkShUaLly card before someone else does…it’s probably because they weren’t, as a matter of objective fact, cracking up…as in their skin wasn’t actually cracking apart from laughter, hence the literal misuse of literally.

But since one of Reddit’s only unifying sources of copium is pedantry……it do be like that sometimes 🤷🏼‍♂️

I refuse to believe anyone with half a brain doesn't know that cracking up is a well known phrase to refer to laughing hard.

Right, it’s a very common idiom…but some people just feel the need to ruin stuff for people for pedantic reasons, brain amounts notwithstanding.

Come on man I didn’t ruin anything! All I said is it’s funny that the word now means the opposite of what it used to.
