冷笑话
lěng xiàohuà
sick jokes; cold humor


用法说明

"冷笑话"是指由于某些原因导致一个笑话不能使人发笑。但并不是所有的冷笑话都难以发笑，有时不好笑正是该笑话的笑点。
A "冷笑话" is when, due to whatever reason, a joke does not elicit laughter. But this does not mean all "冷笑话" do not make people laugh. Sometimes, the fact that the joke is unfunny is the punchline.
