/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "GAHR" (as in "garden") + "seh" (as in "set") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "LAH" (as in "lava") + "REE" (as in "reed") + "sah" (as in "salsa")/

Meaning

To laugh uncontrollably, in hysterics, until you can barely breathe. In the Southern Cone, when something makes you 'cagarte de la risa,' you've crossed from normal laughter into something physical, your body gives up on composure and the laugh takes over completely.

Examples

Nos cagamos de la risa con lo que dijo el profe en clase.

We were dying laughing at what the teacher said in class.

Me cagué de la risa viendo ese video, qué genio el tipo.

I was in absolute hysterics watching that video, the guy is a genius.

A free ride offered in someone's car in Costa Rica. The local equivalent of hitchhiking or bumming a lift. "Pedir un jalón" is the Tico way of asking someone to take you along without paying.
