Literal dancing
“I care. I care deeply.”
All of the above are examples of inside jokes. Don’t recognize them? That’s probably for the better, for you would certainly lose a few brain cells upon hearing the origin (Mozzarella! In stereotypical Italian accent).
Look deep inside yourself. I’m positive that you have inside jokes, with others I hope, but it’s A-OK to have them with just you!
If you want to spread joy and good cheer, send a spirited text message to a friend, detailing an inside joke. All it has to say is “Does he have a brother??” and you’ve had a laugh yourself, and spread one to another! That is, if they remember the joke, for if not you just look a fool. But maybe that in itself could turn into an inside joke!
And if you have inside jokes with yourself … well just remember on them fondly.
For people of my generation: Do you remember the Facebook bumper stickers that said things like “We have so many inside jokes, strangers can’t understand our conversations”? I thought those were so stupid. But alas, they’re kind of true!
Oh, and if someone is on the outside of an inside joke – let them in! They’ll appreciate it, and the joke will only grow! Until it’s commonplace, but then you might as well just write it into your sitcom so the entire world can enjoy it.
