Does anyone have any good alternative to saying "dad joke?"
The term "dad" in "dad joke" excludes anyone who doesn't, is incapable, or chooses not to have children (procreating?) and who also identifies (explicitly or implicitly) as a member of the category "male" (a vestigial term from the sex-assigned binary heterodoxy).
I don't think calling "dad jokes" just "jokes" is precise enough language because people typically are trying to refer to a genre of joke when they use the term.
Maybe "cringe funnies?" Although "cringe" is more of a slang term from the internet and isn't robust enough to survive into perpetuity...
I'm actually serious... What are some good alternatives?
Middle-aged people are the only group of people that can be PC abused, laughed at, etc. Better if they are of middle class. No one cares about them, even themselves think they are pitiful.
