- I for one, feel that this word is grossly underused these days. The world would probably be a better place or something if the youths would start using words like mirthquake, meaning "entertainment that excites convulsive laughter." Because quite frankly, word mirthquake brings me much mirth. - Rufflefeather

The World of Mirth was a 50-car railroad carnival that traveled the Eastern Seaboard from 1933 to 1963. It employed 470 people.

Pardon me, but is this where one could possibly attain glee as well?
