Does anyone live in an area where the word "jon" is frequently in use?

Well, I dunno if it's an expression. Probably a human defense mechanism.

But, I hate people that include false laughter into their own conversations.

False laughter is often a courtesy for someone who told a joke that just bombed. If I'm there friend I'm willing to take one by throwing out some fake laughs to make them feel better and to make the situation a little less awkward.

People who respond to jokes with "I don't get it." fucking piss me off though.

False laughter is a powerful weapon. You can give or withhold it in order to gain control of a relationship.

My girlfriend always yells at me for fake laughing at her jokes. But when I do it (most of the time) it's only because it didn't make me laugh, but I still thought it was funny and I want to let the person know that I thought it was funny.

Is there a way to tell people that you appreciate the humor of their joke without laughing that won't make them think you're being a dick?

nickass is really good at this, the rest of you could use some work!

Honorable mention for "it's going."

But "It was a total gong show"? What the fuck is that? I've never heard that once.

The points made about false laughter are also very good.

One of the most interesting things I studied in cultural anthropology was "face." The way people save face for themselves, or fail to protectively save face for others, and how this relates to the hierarchy of social relationships.

I'm definitely a face-saver for other people. Make a joke that gets crickets, and I've got your back!

I can't deal with the awkwardness of the setting when it's just crickets chirping. I want to claw my stomach open and hide inside it. It's actually WORSE when it happens to someone else than when it happens to me.

My roommates (one in particular) are like filters for these kinds of phrases, collecting their sludgy goodness as it trickles down from the highest wastelands of pop culture. But other than that, they're really upstanding dudes!

I can't fake laugh. I tend to think it's because laughter is such a deep, sacred act for me that I'm not going to fake it just because someone says something gay. I smile and snort out a puff of air for effect, but that's it.

I too deplore social awkwardness. I will literally run away from it at the first sign of trouble. Like if two stubborn, opinionated people start discussing things that I can JUST TELL they will vehemently disagree on... see ya! I'm a coward for that kind of stuff; I can't take it!

It really doesn't matter if you've never heard it.

I hear it pretty much every day.

And from more than one person.

From completely different generations!

It means that there was a staged preformance of a group of large Asian percussive instruments, obviously.

Also, there has never been a game show related to the gong in any way whatsoever.

I don't think I do fake laughs. I guess my friends are just funny!
