    Is there a word or phrase for when you describe or say something true but do it in a kinda funny way? Like you word it so it comes off playful or silly... but you actually do mean the words you're saying. Surely the Germans have a 30 character long smashed together word to describe it

      I guess not, it's like a combination of facetiousness and sincerity...sincere facetiousness?

      Jester's privilege? Like how people imagine that court jesters could say uncomfortable truths to the king without getting their heads chopped off because they did it in the form of a joke.
