Guys don't laugh but I always thought a dry sense of humour was someone who's boring af and hasn't got a sense of humour but that's not correct is it? I hear women say they like a man with a dry sense of humour . Wtf is it ? Sorry I sound so spastic lol |

A dry sense of humour is essentially getting a joke across in an unemotional way while almost sounding like you're not trying to be funny. Richard Ayode I would say is an example of someone with a dry sense of humour  |

I’m only Northern person in an office of southerners
They really didn’t get my dead pan sense of humour at all 5 yrs ago.
Got used to me now.
I work all over the country(have done for 25 yrs) and get on with everyone.
However humour types can be regional I find.

*Years ago* important here. The charity changed its name a very long time ago... |

I wasn't not cutting slack, if you'll forgive the double negative, though it's a very unusual word still to be using. Although the OP is 33 so I doubt he can really remember Scope by its older name.
Pointless, but I'm going to bite - but just because something was ok in the past, it doesn't make it ok now. |

"The name of the society changed in 1994.
That's plenty long enough to know better."
Not long ago then.. a fraction over 25 years.. tell that to a 75 year old or maybe tell them off for terminology they grew up with for all their working lives |

Not sure if it's classed as being dry sense of humour, but some people don't tend to get when I'm joking as sometimes the way I say things or sound doesn't match what I'm actually saying, and most of the time I'm completely unaware. |

I can't speak for many 70, 80 or 90 year olds, though people here were referring to the OP's use of the word, and he's 33.
I am committed to doing my best not to use offensive language, that's true. Can't make promises or predict the future, but I know I will try - we can't pretend things don't change, even if we don't always like or understand the changes... |

It's a sense of humour that isn't wet. |
