Versuchen GOLD - Frei
A GLOSSARY OF LAUGHS
The New Yorker
|December 25, 2023
"... Ha!" You're at a cocktail party and someone just made a reference to the Kenneth Lonergan play "This Is Our Youth" that you didn't find particularly funny, but you still want everyone to know that you understood it.

"Haha" Your best friend teases you about your small feet-something that you're actually insecure about-but it's totally O.K. Yep, for sure.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha" Your sevenyear-old niece is telling you a twentyminute knock-knock joke that makes absolutely zero sense.
"Haha?" You're at a comedy show and your sister's boyfriend, Darren, is halfway through his tight five about how he hates his relationship, but then you look at your sister and she's laughing.
