minus-squaredarkdemize@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up51·22 hours agoSounds like “Try putting them in the air, Friar.”
minus-squareEphera@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up13·17 hours ago“friar” is apparently a monk of specific Christian orders. From French “frère”, which just means “brother”.
minus-squareRustyNova@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·12 hours agoOh. Now I get it. Actually pretty funny Thank you for this addendum
minus-squareEphera@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 hours agoYeah, I was a bit surprised that no one bothered to explain what a “friar” is, like I wouldn’t even expect all native speakers to know that word, depending on their culture. 😅
minus-squareRustyNova@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 hours agoAnd the funny thing is… I’m french. I would have gotten it if I recognise that friar is a bad pronunciation of “frère”

minus-squareObsidianZed@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·14 hours agoThe correct term is dad joke and is a timeless humor not exclusive to any generation.
minus-squareMrQuallzin@pie.eyeofthestorm.placelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·17 hours agoSince when is wordplay boomer humor?

minus-square5318008@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-212 hours agoSure, boomers had puns. So did the silent generation, gen X, and Millennials. Gen Z also has puns. They’re not the dominant feature… but they’re there.
