LLYHACOT
Laugh (or Laughing) Like You Are Holding A Cup Of Tea
Refers to laughing as you would if you were holding a cup of tea, stifling an innate response to properly laugh out loud.
It is a bastardisation of the often literally incorrect LOL, when one did not even laugh, let alone out loud.
An abbreviated form - HACOT (Have A Cup Of Tea) is often used to simply imply general humour or surprise (see separate definition on this website).
