How do you personally define the terms funny and satirical in everyday life?
In everyday life, I define "funny" as something that makes me laugh or brings joy and amusement. It can be a joke, a humorous situation, or a witty comment that lightens the mood. On the other hand, I define "satirical" as using humor, irony, or exaggeration to criticize or mock something in society, politics, or culture. Satire often aims to bring attention to societal issues or flaws through humor and clever commentary. Both funny and satirical elements can add depth and entertainment to everyday interactions and conversations.
