    The interjection of laughing.   --Bacon.
 2. Gram. A word or form of speech thrown in to express emotion or feeling, as O! Alas! Ha ha! Begone! etc. Compare Exclamation.
    An interjection implies a meaning which it would require a whole grammatical sentence to expound, and it may be regarded as the rudiment of such a sentence. But it is a confusion of thought to rank it among the parts of speech.   --Earle.
    How now! interjections? Why, then, some be of laughing, as, ah, ha, he!   --Shak.
