fit to bust

Not helping matters is the fact that every white actor playing a southerner sees fit to bust out unfortunate interpretations of regional accents that should come in a greasy bucket with a side of slaw and mashed potatoes.

“Old Monkey he laughs fit to bust, holding his side and shakin’, and stampin’, then he starts singin’, ‘Tiger's Balls, I ate tiger's balls,' snappin’ his fingers, spinnin’ around on his two feet.

Anyhow, the food is the best, you can't beat Gram for Christmas or Thanksgiving or birthdays, and we all eat until we're fit to bust, except the Fair Gwen makes sure Freak doesn't eat too fast.

The audience clapped fit to bust, and the play continued normally.

“Just sit the best of them down before a dead animal of any sort, from an elephant to a dossie, and they’d go on eatin’ till they were fit to bust.”
