A like for the original picture, more so than the hacked up gif!

That’s a truly great picture - my non-Go-playing wife loved it.

Is this “Go Jokes” or “Go Humor”? I’m confused.

[Gia]

Is this

• Go jokes
• Go humor

There, fixed it.

[wind_water]

Right, mine was humor, not a joke.

Okay, here’s one:
Why wasn’t my post appropriate here?

It wasn’t a joke-seki

From now on I will keep humor out of my go jokes.

[trohde]

I’m in Europe, for me it’s Go Humour. So, sadly I can’t vote

<edit> But I decided that, since this thread was named “Go Jokes”, I should vote after all </edit>

[BHydden]

I’m in anywhere other than America, for me it’s Go Humour…

FIFY

[Eugene]

I think it’s Go Jokes, but general Go humour belongs here, because we don’t need yet another thread

Well the pedant in me would love to see us go down the path of debating over ever finer distinctions:

• Go jokes
• Go one-liners
• Go anti-jokes
• Go humour
• Go puns
• Go pranks
• Go memes
• Go polls
• Go silly
• Go satire
• Go irony
• Go nonsense
• Go tomfoolery
• Go comics
• Go sarcasm
• Go comedy
• Go oxymorons
• Go innuendo
• Go slapstick
• Go funny stuff
• Go misdirection
• Go dark humour
• Go knock knock jokes
• Go lightbulb jokes
• Go mama jokes
• Go ridiculous pendantry
• Go meta humour

Arguing about the hierarchy, nesting, and overlap between these categories would be part of the fun!

[trohde]

You forgot “Go pr0nedy”.

@yebellz

Arguing about the hierarchy, nesting, and overlap between these categories would be part of the fun

Discourse does allows for quite deep nesting IIRC. Top hierarchy could be “funny”?

[yebellz]

I don’t know, maybe humour should be the top category. Not sure how to determine the overlap with funny.

so it begins …

I can’t believe you of all people forgot

• Go comedic polls

@trohde, @BHydden

I just fixed an existing post according to community guidelines, but left the text intact.

Personally, I also prefer humour, in other words I might use American spelling. I was officially taught British English but the good thing of it not being your official language is you can mix and match all you want.

One thing about American English is that it encourages you to mix and match whatever you want. One of it’s unwritten rules is that a sentence is elevated higher directly in proportion to how unique it is.

With “unique” representing how broken, slang ridden, or nonsensical you can make it using innuendo, misdirection, homonyms, homophones, homographs, oxymorons, abbreviations, acronyms, or any other manner of clever tomfoolery to say what you mean without stating it clear and concisely.

It is practically an art form that all people dabble in, knowingly or unknowingly. A daily exerted extension of our own individuality.

@Mulsiphix1

innuendo, misdirection, homonyms, homophones, homographs, oxymorons, abbreviations, acronyms,

I can’t help but love how 5 of these words are Greek.

[Barbanaira]

I like how these words that sound ‘educated’ to us are perfectly understandable to you greeks. “Yo, I’m gonna drive my self-mover to the table and get money to pay my hand-worker for my nose-forming”.

[Gia]

I don’t remember if I’ve mentioned this before, my sister studied French (she has an university degree in French) before she got her Certificate of Proficiency in English. She said that in the CPE exams multiple choice vocabulary test, the “French” (spelling, word stem, etymology etc) words were usually the correct answer- and she also knew most of them. She also studied Latin in high school and is Greek, so multiple choice vocabulary was by far the easiest part.

P.S. That’s how I’ve studied the few Latin that I know, I was helping her study and stuff stuck.

Go mama jokes

To clarify what a “Go mama” joke is, here is an example:

Go mama so tenuki, when she’d better honte!
