PUZZLE #28 - DAD JOKES

IN-CONTEXT WORD DEFINITIONS

silly: Playfully foolish in a way that makes a Dad joke amusing. A silly Dad joke may be wonderfully foolish but it still gives the family something to smile about.

laughter: The sound or expression of amusement after hearing a joke. Laughter often follows when Dad proudly delivers another familiar joke at the Father's Day table.

giggle: A light and repeated laugh often prompted by a funny joke. A giggle can escape before anyone has time to pretend Dad's pun was not funny.

pun: A joke that uses a word with multiple meanings or a similar sound. A pun is a classic Dad joke choice because one clever word can create an unexpectedly groan-worthy laugh.

witticism: A clever and amusing short remark. A quick witticism lets Dad add a clever bit of humor to a relaxed Father's Day conversation.

eyeroll: A gesture of looking upward that shows mock annoyance at a corny joke. An eyeroll is the affectionate family response when Dad tells a joke everyone has heard before.

wordplay: Clever use of language to create humor through meanings or sounds. Wordplay gives Dad a way to turn an ordinary family conversation into a joke-filled Father's Day moment.

punchline: The final part of a joke that delivers its funny surprise. The punchline is the moment Dad waits for after setting up one of his favorite jokes.

comic relief: Humor used to lighten the mood during an otherwise serious moment. Comic relief from Dad's jokes can lighten the mood and bring a smile to the whole family.

one-liner: A brief joke made up of one clever sentence. A one-liner lets Dad deliver a fast joke before anyone can escape the Father's Day gathering.

corny: Overly sentimental or obvious in a way typical of many Dad jokes. A corny joke may earn a groan from the family but it is part of what makes Dad's humor memorable.

Secret Word: A joke that uses a word with multiple meanings or a similar sound. A pun is a classic Dad joke choice because one clever word can create an unexpectedly groan-worthy laugh.
