Word for the Day: Tuesday, January 7, 2014

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability.  And this fits this weeks Theme (Humor) like a glove.  Acceptable humor?  Unacceptable humor?  An easy example would be someone who bonks another person on the head, laughs, and yells, "Can't you take a joke?" - when the other person asks, "Why?"

Another example of unacceptable humor is denigrating another human being, based on who or what he/she is.  Fortunately, other people agree that this is unacceptable, and the person making the "joke" often finds him/herself in trouble.
