Joking about serious, or real life situation, while discretely shedding light on the truth of the matter.

A joke that is not told fully, ending somewhere between the beginning and the ending of the full joke. Usually just a joke but without the punch line. First recorded use was by (correct me if im wrong) Jschlatt in the "So I won the Minecraft talent show..." YouTube video.
A guy in a tiktok to the audience: Everyone tells me that I should stop listening to rap music.
Jschlatt: is this mf doing half jokes?
The guy: I wrote a book about cows...
Jschlatt: this mf is doing half jokes
The guy: Leopards, eh?

What you add after a backhanded insult so that they can't have ago at you but really you've still insulted them as you've only said your half joking. Started using it at University and haven't seen over people do it but hope it takes off.
Don't worry you may not have the looks but you can always fall back on your fashion sense.... half jokes.
Not only are you fat but your also dumb I mean you can't pass on an extra slice of a cake or your end of term exams... ahh im joking, well half jokes anyway.
