+86You enjoy memes more the less people understand them, in a lot of ways memes are just large scale inside jokes, but just like a regular inside joke, after everyone gets it, it becomes lame, amirite?
No matter what, it is always going to be awkward when someone brings up a joke or a saying that does not apply to you.
Well, it ISN'T otherwise it wouldn't be a private or inside joke, would it?
I'm saying the different phrase has different connotations.
"Private joke" sounds like being a douche and shutting people out on purpose.
"Inside joke" sounds like just making a note that most people won't get it.
So 'you had to be there sorry' is the same as 'screw you you can't be a part of this.' Mhm
Yes
To me 'private joke' sounds like, well something private and you shouldn't be a nosey ass and keep bugging about it
Don't see the difference
both imply it's something you probably won't get and
most likely won't be let in on
does it matter?
I understand...
Inside joke means a joke or phrase between a group of friends while
Private joke means (in some cases) a joke that nobody should know about.
That made me sound smart.^^
No it didn't.
To me it did. :P
I hate the phrase "inside joke". Because if it is said to a large group of people only like 2 will get it and the rest are like "What is wrong with you?" I also hate it when they don't tell me the joke.
I'm in a play right now. In one part we were in two groups and in the group I was in someone mis-spoke and it was really funny (in a way it would be funny after, not just in the moment funny)
Some people were trying to make it like a big secret, and I was like "Guys, get over yourselves. We can't have secrets in the cast" and then I explained the joke to everyone who wasn't there.
I feel like it's a pretty douchey thing to do. I mean, no one really cares, knowing doesn't make you any better than anyone. Even if it won't be funny you can still learn what it is.
