Sophomoric humor is that which is juvenile, puerile, and basethe kind normally expected of an adolescent, for example. It is a type of comedy that often includes toilet humor and gags that are based on and appeal to a silly sense of immaturity. The word sophomoric, an adjective dating from 1813, is used to refer to and describe something or someone that is conceited, overconfident, poorly informed and immature, as characterized by a stereotypical high school sophomore. The phrase can be derisive, but is also used to refer to a style or vein of comedic act. * A sophomoric view is one held confidently because of lack of awareness of one's own ignorance. From the Greek words (transliterated as sophos), meaning wise or clever, and (transliterated as moros) meaning foolish or stupid, related to the word moron. A sophomore is a second-year high school student in a four-year course of study. The term originated in England, but is now used principally in the United States. |
