sense of humour failure

A phrase used by a manager as an awkward semi-apology after they lose their temper at their employees. This is the closest to an apology you're likely to get.

Prevalent in the UK tech and consulting sector.

Romantic sense

1: The ability of an individual to be able to tell what their romantic partner is thinking and how they’re feeling both physically and emotionally, which allows them to better address their partner’s needs and desires. This often helps to build and maintain a strong romantic bond between the partners; and facilitates more intimacy between them.
2: The ability of a person to read other people they know to figure out who they might be compatible with and or who they are likely attracted to, assuming they have not already told you. Having a strong social political sense in addition to this could be helpful in being able to accurately use this skill.
Cameron: I think Lily likes Timothy.
Xaldin: What makes you think that?
Cameron: Whenever they look at each other they seem to smile and over the past month when they get lunch, they always sit next to each other in the cafeteria.
Xaldin: Yeah, now I see what you’re saying. You seem to have a strong romantic sense.

dozen't make sense

What you'd say regarding da fact dat an 18-pack of eggs sometimes costs more than half-again-as-much as a box of 12.
One generally expects dat buying a larger "bulk" package of a certain item would automatically make da per-piece price lower, so it dozen't make sense to charge an extra 57% for an 18-pack of eggs.
