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.

Patrick Radden Keefe on Truman Capote's “In Cold Blood”
In 1972, on “The Tonight Show,” Johnny Carson asked Truman Capote about capital punishment. Capote had written, in unsettling detail, about the hanging of two killers, Dale Hickock and Perry Smith. Carson said, of the death penalty, “As long as the people don't have to see it, they seem to be all for it”; if executions occurred “in the public square,” Americans might stop doing them. Capote wasn't so sure. His hands laced together professorially, he murmured, in his baby-talk drawl, “Human nature is so peculiar that, really, millions of people would watch it and get some sort of vicarious sensation.”
