dirty jokes

Bawdy comedic material

Dirty jokes are jokes with sexual or scatological content—humor built around bodies, bodily functions, or taboo subjects.

The term is mildly euphemistic, often used around children: Cover your ears, he's about to tell a dirty joke.

Adults might say "raunchy" or "off-color" instead.

Dirty jokes range from clever double entendres to crude shock humor.
