If someone makes an
absolutely awful joke, or says something completely random or pointless. One member of the group may "zing" them.
This works best if done during the
awkward silence after the joke/comment.
The zinger may also point with an open palm, fingers first at the joke/comment maker while zinging them for effect.
George: Hey
guess what guys...last night we were
having dinner right, and my mother, the silly oaf, burnt my pizza!!........(expecting laughter from the group)
Andy: (waitin a few seconds for the
awkward silence to take hold.......ZING!!!!! (while pointing wih open palm)
Rest of Group: (laughter and general abuse directed at joke maker)
