Guys don't laugh but I always thought a dry sense of humour was someone who's boring af and hasn't got a sense of humour but that's not correct is it? I hear women say they like a man with a dry sense of humour . Wtf is it ? Sorry I sound so spastic lol

A dry sense of humour is essentially getting a joke across in an unemotional way while almost sounding like you're not trying to be funny. Richard Ayode I would say is an example of someone with a dry sense of humour

For me - a dry sense of humour is being funny in a subtle way… not wise cracking but in an understated way

It is to be funny without overt intention. You know you're funny but you don't have to try hard to make people life and you know that makes it funnier.

I’m only Northern person in an office of southerners

They really didn’t get my dead pan sense of humour at all 5 yrs ago.

Got used to me now.

I work all over the country(have done for 25 yrs) and get on with everyone.

However humour types can be regional I find.

I wasn't not cutting slack, if you'll forgive the double negative, though it's a very unusual word still to be using. Although the OP is 33 so I doubt he can really remember Scope by its older name.

Pointless, but I'm going to bite - but just because something was ok in the past, it doesn't make it ok now.

The name of the society changed in 1994.

That's plenty long enough to know better.

Not long ago then.. a fraction over 25 years.. tell that to a 75 year old or maybe tell them off for terminology they grew up with for all their working lives

Not sure if it's classed as being dry sense of humour, but some people don't tend to get when I'm joking as sometimes the way I say things or sound doesn't match what I'm actually saying, and most of the time I'm completely unaware.

I can't speak for many 70, 80 or 90 year olds, though people here were referring to the OP's use of the word, and he's 33.

I am committed to doing my best not to use offensive language, that's true. Can't make promises or predict the future, but I know I will try - we can't pretend things don't change, even if we don't always like or understand the changes...

It's a sense of humour that isn't wet.
