What is a joke?

Joking refers to teasing others in a humorous and relaxed way, which is acceptable to both sides. It is also an expression of pride and affirmation, and takes it as a joke with a casual attitude.

Making some jokes properly in life can narrow the distance with others, dissolve the embarrassing atmosphere and win the good feelings of others. However, when the object, occasion and scale of joking are inappropriate, it may be counterproductive and even hurt others' self-esteem and emotions.
