Did you know?
     When you need a word to describe something (or someone) that causes or is
  intended to cause laughter, you might pick "jocose" or a synonym such as
 "witty," "facetious," or "jocular." Of those terms, "witty" suggests cleverness
     and quickness of mind, while "facetious" is a potentially derogatory word for a
    lame or ill-timed attempt at humor. "Jocose" and "jocular" both imply a
habitual waggishness and fondness for joking.
