    A: Hey, have you read what Mike thinks about the sex scandal that involved his ex-girlfriend — he posted a link to his personal website on his QQ instant messenger?

    Note: The term off-color humor (also known as vulgar humor or crude humor) is an Americanism used to describe jokes, prose, poems, black comedy, blue comedy, insult comedy, cringe comedy and skits that deal with topics that may be considered to be in poor taste or overly vulgar. Most commonly labeled as “off-color” are acts concerned with sex, a particular ethnic group, or gender. In some parts of the world, sexual humor in particular is known as “non-veg” humor, contrasted with the “veg” jokes that are more acceptable in polite company.
