Dry Humour is a kind of wit or humor that is delivered in a subtle and sarcastic way. It typically involves saying things that are intentionally amusing but understated, often catching people off guard with its cleverness. It can be a bit tricky to identify because it relies heavily on wordplay, irony, and deadpan delivery.

Examples:

1. During a conversation about the weather:

Person A: “I love how it’s so sunny and warm outside.”
Person B: “Yes, the weather is absolutely scorching. Im delighted to have melted three times already.”

2. In response to someone bragging about their browser loading speed:

Person A: “My browser is lightning fast, it loads in a blink of an eye.”
