It's better to miss a friend than to miss a joke

This comes from a brazilian saying. It basically means that if you're making jokes and someone gets offended ( on a personal level ), that is no reason to stop making those jokes. This, of course, isn't an excuse to just be an asshole, and must be used with nuance. The saying could also be directly translated to

"It's better to lose a friend than to lose a joke"
Guy 1 (whose wife died to stillbirth): Wow, these celebrities are crazy
Guy 2: What happened?
Guy 1: I checked the news, and it looks like the rapper DaBaby killed his wife
Guy 2: Well, "The Baby" also killed YOUR wife
Guy 1: Low blow dude
Guy 2: It's better to miss a friend than to miss a joke

missing someone

Feeling the absence of the presence of a person. Craving to have someone back when you know you cant. Trying to seek for the answer to why you are feeling this way. Even though they were not good for you. Even if you try to convince yourself that they were knowing the weren’t.
Im missing someone, even though they make me want to cry.

foul and a miss

A light hearted phrase one utters in the tone of a snooker referee on the occasion of a particularly wholesome trouser cough.

Eg

Jimmy White: Parp! ( drops guts)

Snooker referee: Foul and a miss. Alex Higgins, four. Now let’s get some windows open, Jimmy has been on the pickled herring and Guinness all weekend.
Example.
