| has gloss | eng: Polish jokes, also called Polack jokes – in conjunction with the ethnic slur "Polack" – belong to the category of what author Ted Cohen calls "conditional jokes", which means that their understanding requires knowledge of "what a Polish joke is". Conditional jokes depend upon the audience's affective preference, or their likes and dislikes. Although these ethnic jokes might be understood by many, their success depends entirely upon the negative disposition of the listener. In the Anglosphere outside of North America, these jokes replace Polish people with Irish people. |
