despollarse

to piss oneself (laughing)

Usage

A vulgar, informal reflexive verb meaning to crack up laughing uncontrollably — me despollo de risa. It's formed on the same pattern as descojonarse, from a vulgar slang root, so despite the visual resemblance to pollo (chicken), it has nothing to do with birds; keep it out of any formal or polite context.

Examples
  • (vulgar) Me despollé viendo ese video tan absurdo. — (vulgar) I cracked up watching that absurd video.
  • (vulgar) Nos despollamos con sus chistes malos. — (vulgar) We cracked up at his terrible jokes.
  • (vulgar) Se despolló en cuanto vio la cara que puso el gato. — (vulgar) He burst out laughing the moment he saw the cat's face.
Common mistake

Using despollarse in front of people you don't know well or in professional settings — it's crude slang, on par with descojonarse, not a neutral way to say "laugh hard."
