From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Humour or humor (see American and British English spelling differences) is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. Many theories exist about what humour is and what social function it serves. People of all ages and cultures respond to humour. The majority of people are able to be amused, to laugh or smile at something funny, and thus they are considered to have a "sense of humour." The term derives from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, which stated that a mix of fluids known as humours (Greek: χυμός, chymos, literally juice or sap; metaphorically, flavour) controlled human health and emotion. (This theory has since been found to be counterfactual.) A sense of humour is the ability to experience humour, although the extent to which an individual will find something humorous depends on a host of variables, including geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education, intelligence, and context. For example, young children may possibly favour slapstick, such as Punch and Judy puppet shows or cartoons (e.g., Tom and Jerry). Satire may rely more on understanding the target of the humour, and thus tends to appeal to more mature audiences. Nonsatirical humour can be specifically termed "recreational drollery." Smiling can imply a sense of humour and a state of amusement, as in this painting by Eduard von Grützner.From Wikipedia under the

The list is endless. Humor is a form of communication that starts from light to Dark. Depends on who's on it or who's involved. You see, As we grow up, we develop our wits by our parents or people we interact with. As we get older our humor grows with us. Me, myself. I enjoy all humor. Especially (sarcastic. and humor that you can get away with it.!!!) But be very careful with it. HUMOR. like all words has a double sided blade. be careful who you aim this at. Most people can't handle humor like some others. So mind your P&Q's . Enjoy.!!! Haqpy Birthday!! lol.. Answered by nightstar - Mon Apr 13 12:55:47 2009 Any tips for someone who has had social anxiety and now is overcoming it, looking to develip a humor? Q. I dropped out of school in the 9th grade due to social anxiety. Now i am 17 years old and am looking to make some friends in college. Notice that i missed out on the 4 most important years of socializing, learning what makes people laugh how to be funny, when to be funny, Ive been told before im as funny as a wall:(. Just wondering if anyone has tips on developing a humor. Asked by crazygamer19@ymail.com - Sun Aug 24 18:42:24 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Just remember not to take everything so serious. Listen to people carefully but understand that somethings maybe to make people laugh and not to be hurtful or mean. You'll get the hang of it soon enough. Try watching some sitcoms. They always have some funny situations in them or try to see the funny side of them. I know with my anxiety and stuff it has been hard for me to laugh with people. Sometimes you just don't want to hear it. So take your time and listen. Keep a smile on your face. You'll make plenty of friends in collage, some you can even share some of your past with. I'm sure once you get to know them you'll fit right in. Take and never give up! Answered by Cella - Sun Aug 24 19:09:25 2008 What does it mean to have a dry sense of humor?
Q. When I was in sixth grade, my mom said that my teacher (my homeroom, social studies teacher) at a parent teacher conference said that I had a dry sense of humor. Is that a good thing? Asked by Jane. - Sun Sep 14 17:52:31 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. good thing, yes. means you know how to find humor in things that are not so obvious or things many people could not have thought of. so it would be like the opposite of silly humor. lots of good writers of books and short stories or actors in theater plays are said to have a dry sense of humor Answered by April - Sun Sep 14 18:00:08 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "humor" Comedy has a popular meaning (stand-up, along with any discourse generally intended to amuse), which differs from its academic definition, namely the comic theatre, whose Western origins are found in Ancient Greece. The theatrical genre can be simply described as a dramatic performance pitting two societies against each other in an amusing agon or conflict. Comedy contains variations on the elements of surprise, incongruity, conflict, repetitiveness, and the effect of opposite expectations, and there are many recognized genres. Sourced
