"Dad joke" was officially added to the dictionary

Finally, a little respect.


Tuesday,Merriam-Webster added More than 530 new words and definitions to its expanding dictionary always. Some of the words, such as "vacation" (a shortening of "holiday"), "SESH" (an abbreviation of "session") and inso (a form of briefly "of inspiration"), reflect the way in whichinternet slang become increasingly incorporating into daily speech. But there is at least a new entrance that has long been expected: "joke. "

Merriam-Webster now officially defines the term "ajoke of the type says to be told by the fathers with a punch line that is often a game of words or obvious words or predictable on words and generally judged to be solicitedsteady or renown. "It's nice about money.

The Dictionary lists 1987 as the date of its first known use whenThe GetTysburg Timespublished an article called "Does not prohibit the "daddy" jokes; preserve and venerate them. "The term appeared onUrban dictionary In 2003, where it was a little more naughty defined as "an indescribable joke with cheese and / or a mute jet made by a father to his children".

Since then, the term "joke dad" has grown up in popularity on the internet (especially aroundFathers Day), and even has its own section onReddit.

One could speculate that the inclusion of the term in the new lot of words of Merriam-Webster, as well as its more endearing definition, indicates that our attitudes towards the Humor Negna are changing. Yes, the joke itself can be pretty terrible, but the computer linguistChi luu A argued that it is also the attempt of a father to bind with his children while recognizing that he is totally not uncolurative.

"Papa jokes are a kind of anti-joke," said LuuDaily jstorIn June 2019. "As self-deprecated by joke about a personal flaw in front of your bully, dap jokes appear a fault of justice, presenting himself as deliberately evil, deliberately non-cool, deliberately anti-humor.. .. The pleasure is perhaps more in saying it is even accompanied by a choir of moinings not seized (and inevitable). For a while, the parental jokester has the floor and the children listen. "
