humor negro

A style of comedy that targets physical, cultural, and racial traits, often pushing the boundaries of xenophobia or homophobia. While some see it as harmless, others believe certain sensitive topics are off-limits for jokes. Its acceptability depends entirely on the setting and the audience (in Argentina, the phrase, con eso no se jode, is a common way to say some things are not to be messed with).

Don't do humor negro because my mom doesn't like it. She says she prefers clean humor.

vidente

In Argentina, this is a pun used to mock someone who is missing most of their teeth. While the word normally means a psychic or clairvoyant, it is used here as a play on the word bidente (two-toothed), suggesting the person only has two teeth left. The joke works because the letters b and v are pronounced identically in Spanish.

- Look at that guy, he is missing his whole grill. - Yeah, he is a vidente, haha.

Gracia

Playful antics, capers, or tricks. This definition relies on a pun: while a single trick is a Gracia, a group of monkeys performing them is described by the plural form, which sounds identical to the word for thank you. (In the Dominican Republic, the final s is often dropped or aspirated, making the words sound exactly the same).

At the zoo the daughter watches the monkeys, jumping, hitting each other and doing stunts, and asks her mother: Mom, what are they doing? The mother answers: Gracia, daughter... they are doing Gracia.

Gracia

A sarcastic retort used when someone drops the final s from the word gracias. It plays on the double meaning of Gracia, which is both a slangy way to say thanks and a word for a funny trick or antic (Dominican speakers often omit final consonants, and this phrase mocks that habit by implying the speaker is performing a trick like an animal instead of being polite).

A young man helps a man, who was dropping his s, push his car. When they finish, the man says to the youth: Gracia. The youth responds: Gracia is what a monkey does.
