Verbal Dereliction
Must confess a certain degree of dissappointment at learning from Tycho and Gabriel (See www.pennyarcade.com) that I was not quite the innovative wordsmith as imagined. It seems that the concept of the mirthquake is really not something that was so original to warrant a blip on the rictus scale.
but perhaps there is some comfort in (at least to the best of my limited knowledge) being among the few people to have come up with it.....maybe.....
From www.urbandictionary.com, of mirthquakes and other such
Mirthquake
A violent shuddering of joy, an overwhelming tectonic transposing of ecstasy
Standing in line to recieve the Wii, I had a minor mirthquake.

From Tycho Brahe at pennyarcade.com
"you should prepare yourselves for a mirthquake, as today's comic strip was rated 7.1 on the rictus scale."
