Facetiousism

Facetiousism
Definition
Facetiousism explains the philosophical phenominalism of facetiousness, which encourages the concept that a facetious comment makes light of a dark situation, where in the case of the situation, the enactor of facetiousness can acknowledge the potentially humorous value of this comment to it's audience. It expresses the understanding that humour has a political value in a social context and in essence outlines the capacity of language it uses to be interpreted both positively and negatively in exchanges. In integer, facetiousness can be used as a coping mechanism.
Origins
From the Latin facetus meaning 'witty' and facetia meaning 'jest' and the Greek suffix -ism.
