What it means

Online, saying you're screaming means something is so funny or ridiculous that you're reacting with full-volume drama, even if you're actually sat there silent, grinning at your phone. It's a texty, exaggerated way to say you've absolutely lost it laughing.

Usage examples

"He captioned it wrong on purpose and I am screaming."
"Screaming at the way the dog just gave up halfway."
"That typo was so bad I'm screaming."
"She really said that with her whole chest and I'm screaming."
