Inside Jokes

Have you ever experienced laughing so hard over something but everyone is giving you the strange look and ask you "What is funny?"? Then you try to explain what made you laugh but still they don't get it.  So you remember your friend, Jane. If only she was there with you,  you could have had someone to laugh with. It was an inside joke. It could be a situation or a word that only the two of you understand. I believe you have also experienced being on the other end where you have no idea what the fuss is all about.

It is normal to have inside jokes between close friends and relatives. With lots of memories with one another, there are some series of events you experience together that makes you come up with an inside joke.

Let me share an inside joke I used to have with a friend.

I and my friend tease each other a lot.  This story is a bit naughty. When it is only the two of us, we do not hesitate to give each other the middle finger.  The problem is, a habit can be hard to break even in public places. Then we figured out a solution.  It seems innocent and cute but the two of us know what we really mean when we do it and we always laughed about it.

Instead of giving the middle finger, we use the little finger. Let me show you how I do it with my hand.

I wonder if you understand what makes it funny.

If you are an ARMY (a fan of Kpop group BTS just like me),  you probably know what is funny about the following:

*swag

*You got no jams

*dirty water

*Shit down

*Beach. Bitch?

Okay. Nevermind. My mind just wandered for a while. But hurray if you know it!

How about making up new words or talking in a different way? If you didn't, you must be too serious, or you must be boring. I'm just kidding. When I was younger, I had a group of friends, we spoke a different language but we did it just like this:

E knew whet yee ded lest semmer.

Thes es crezy.

Whet es heppeneng?

Had to replace all vowels with letter "E" but it was fun talking with them that way.  It may be childish but aren' we all when we are with our closest friends?

                      

There is nothing wrong about inside jokes.  It fact, it shows good relationships and positive outlook in life.
