Meaning of one joke | Babel Free

Noun CEFR B2

Definitions

  1. Humour satirising transgender and non-binary gender identities through mocking self-identifications (typically by "identifying" as something absurd or self-evident).
  2. Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see one, joke.

Examples

“I should add that Gilliam also made that one joke during his aforementioned rants about #MeToo, saying he identifies as, "a melanin-light male."”
“I have seen fucked up things that suck before and I already know the joke. They only have the one joke. Anti-woke trans-bash comedians are cultivating an audience I want very much not to be a part of.”
“When it boils down to it, there is only one transphobic joke, and it repeats itself ad infinitum - indeed, the joke is so stale that there’s a whole subreddit (r/onejoke) that exists to parody it. Without the "one joke," comedians like Gervais and Dave Chappelle would have to figure out some fresh material - the Babylon Bee would go out of business entirely.”
