It cannot be "Laughing Out Loud" because I thought that ever since the 100 years war you French are not inclined to use English words if at all avoidable .The best I can come up with using my English/French Larousse is "Luisant Ouvert Langue "Shining Open Tongue" or the other way round ROB "Risant Ouvert Bruyant".

HLOLARAWCHAWMP = Lord knows how that translates into French but in English it is
Hysterically Laughing Out Loud And Rolling Around While Clapping Hands And Wetting My Pants
