Humofact

Humofact (noun) - describes what was said by someone to be not clear weather it was just humor or a fact. People often joke around about things that actually are true, but don't want to say straight forward. After a humofact other person, or group of them is left in unknowingness weather it was truth for a fact with a funny side to it, or was it just a joke that is not the truth at all.

It's fun to give people such humofacts for them to think about themselves. Much can be said through humofacts, while still hiding something.
-Oh this is such a nice gift, where did you get this?!
-I stole it, hehehe.
-Really? you stole it?
-I won't tell weather it is true or is this just a joke. It's humofact for you, dear.
-Oh well...

-So, Dexter, what do you enjoy doing on your free time?
-Killing serial killers, usually. (this part was true, but told as a joke - that's why it's humofact.)
-Yeah sure.. It's fine with me if you don't want to tell. Want to go to concert this weekend?

-Michael, what is this ring, is this like a wedding ring?
-No, I just spend my months payment for it, and no it is not a wedding ring. -Was said with a following smile, and silence afterwards.
-Are you joking? That's one more of your humofacts...

post humorous

when you think of a good pun, joke, punch line or one-liner after the opportune moment of delivery. if one was to then say this joke, it would be lame and obsolete because the timing would be all wrong and the moment would have passed. typically happens when one is in an altered state of consciousness. i.e: a late joke which deserves no high fives..............if we still do that sort of thing.
Adj: post humorously
A friend had a post on facebook, " D - RUNK!!" I happened to be drunk at the time too so I commented, "Me too!!" I realized later that I was the first to comment and it would've been SLIGHTLY more funny if I had said, "Me Three!" That was post humorous.

Lame example, but there you have it. Still drunk.
