The concept that when presented with the set-up for a joke, the listener willingly moves the joke forward toward the punch-line in a timely manner. Poor joke-etiquette refers to the practice of the listener attempting to figure out the punchline or delaying the telling in order to steal the teller's thunder, thus spoiling his/her efforts.
An example of good joke-etiquette.
bob: knock, knock.
neil: who's there? (=good joke-etiquette)
bob: go fuck yourself!

Get the Etienne mug.The definition of what is acceptable protocol when using Facebook, specifically whether or not it is acceptable to ask someone out through this forum or if that would be perceived as stalking and creepy. This relates to someone you have not yet met properly.
Facebook Etiquette: hypothetical situation as follows: guy meets girl but has minimal opportunity to communicate since the meeting point thus far has been in a loud bar, albeit a top, top place! Girl has a particularly gorgeous smile! Guy takes matters into his own hands and plans a surprise delivery of flowers and a package to said bar during a charity event (is this poor timing?) Guy & girl become FB friends. Is it then acceptable protocol to pursue further contact via FB or should they wait until the next chance encounter at the noisy bar?
Consensus is: Nothing ventured, nothing gained, & Life is too short. ***This is contingent upon girl not being easily offended & a tad on the adventurous side.

Get the Facebook Etiquette mug.the standard method of managing how two people place their elbows in a movie theater or other seating area with only one armrest between each pair of seats. Usually involves one person's elbows placed on the front of the rest, and the other's on the back.
Guy 1: At the movies last night the guy next to me's elbows kept hitting mine!
Guy 2: Bummer, sounds like he had poor elbow etiquette.
