risque joke
Off-color witticism
A risque joke is one that flirts with indecency—typically involving sex, bodily functions, or other topics that might make some listeners uncomfortable.
The term suggests humor that pushes boundaries without crossing into outright vulgarity: He told a risque joke about the honeymoon that made her blush.
The phrase implies calculated naughtiness rather than shock value.
