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.
(after boss has stopped shouting obscenities at their staff)
"I'm afraid I've had a sense of humour failure..."

Sense of humor

Stephen King calls it anger with it's make up on, so when someone is always making unhilarious attempts at humor, it's because they are silly, not angry. It's because they are the worst kind of clown, one that isn't funny.
It's better not to have any sense of humor than to make unhilarious attempts at one to be part of a group so that you don't end up alone.

Sense of humor

The wrong people think that if you have one you're not serious, because they're not serious. They don't get what a sense of humor is, they think it is making fun of double standards and bullshit like that. A sense of humor is like common sense, it's dangerous not to have one.
The bubbly girl thought that because what she said and did was unhilarious and showed a poor sense of humor she would never admit to having, because she thought she was the funniest person in the world (because she was a narcissist) , that everybody else was like her, just as silly as her. If they said or did something that other people thought was funny or got, even if she didn't, to her it meant that the other person wasn't serious, because she wasn't serious, (she didn't hold anything sacred enough to be serious about it) so nobody else was either.

sense-in-itself 

The paradigm of Kant's judgement as a thing in itself--a single forma in the person's world interior.

The paradigm of Kant's judgement as distinct from Kant's AESTHETIC judgement.

The paradigm that sense has a structure unique and individual in a person that corresponds to plural structures outside of that self-same person.
Kant's sense-in-itself is known today as the forma...an orthogonality between the SET of twin-primes and the set of primes.

This orthogonality exists in the singular sense inside of a person and exists in the plural form in the individual's world-exterior. This confirms Kant's notion that not only does an individual contain sense but the world-exterior is made up of a person's senses.

The forma is in fact a structure-of-ethics..

Sense-faking 

Using self-referential linguistic hoops and astroturfed first-principle thinking to "make sense" of something complex, multi-faceted or paradoxical.
"I asked a Mcdonald's Cashier if I could pay ETH. She declined and asked for USD. We're still early."

Dude, you're sense-faking!
