English-language idioms An idiom is a common word or phrase with a culturally understood meaning that differs from what its composite words' denotations would suggest. For example, an English speaker would understand the phrase ""kick the bucket"" to mean ""to die"" and also to actually kick a bucket. Furthermore, they would understand when each meaning is being used in context. An idiom is not to be confused with other figures of speech such as a metaphor, which invokes an image by use of implicit comparisons ("e.g.", ""the man of steel"" ); a simile, which invokes an image by use of explicit comparisons ("e.g.", ""faster than a speeding bullet""); and hyperbole, which exaggerates an image beyond truthfulness ("e.g.", like ""missed by a mile"" ). Idioms are also not to be confused with proverbs, which are simple sayings that express a truth based on common sense or practical experience.

Shtick A shtick (Yiddish: שטיק‎ ) (or schtick) is a comic theme or gimmick. "Shtick" is derived from the Yiddish word "shtik" (שטיק), meaning "piece"; the closely related German word "Stück" has the same meaning. The English word "piece" itself is also sometimes used in a similar context. Another variant is "bits of business" or just "bits"; comic mannerisms such as Laurel and Hardy's fiddling with their ties, or one of them looking into the camera shaking his head while the other one would ramble on. A "shtick" can also refer to an adopted persona, usually for comedy performances, that is maintained consistently (though not necessarily exclusively) across the performer's career. In this usage, the recurring personalities adopted by Laurel and Hardy through all of their many comedy films (although they often played characters with different names and occupations) would qualify as their shtick. A comedian might maintain several different shticks of this sort, particularly if appearing in a variety show encouraging development of multiple characters, such as "Saturday Night Live".

Joke A joke is a display of humour in which words are used within a specific and well-defined narrative structure to make people laugh and is not meant to be taken seriously. It takes the form of a story, usually with dialogue, and ends in a punch line. It is in the punch line that the audience becomes aware that the story contains a second, conflicting meaning. This can be done using a pun or other word play such as irony, a logical incompatibility, nonsense, or other means. Linguist Robert Hetzron offers the definition:

Conditional joke A conditional joke is a joke meant for a qualified audience only, possessing prior knowledge and understanding of the topic, which in turn, enables them to ("quote-unquote") get that joke. Such ability is also called the prerequisite condition for laughter. The conditional joke is one of two main categories of jokes, according to Ted Cohen; the main one being a universal joke, which does not require familiarity with the hermetic language of a conditional joke. The conditional, or "hermetic" jokes, often depend on the internalized negative stereotypes held by the audience toward a targeted group of people. Such affective disposition can also explain the persistence of ethnic jokes in multicultural societies. Although they can be understood by many, the conditional jokes usually don't make ridiculed individuals laugh at the punch line.
