Albanian Hello It's the movie "Resurrection of Gavin Stone". Some girl is telling a joke and she says, "How do you make a tissue dance? Put a little Boogey in it." The guy who's listening her doesn't laugh at all. She defends her joke saying it's a good one. The problem is I am not getting at all her joke. Can somebody throw some light on this joke and why it is supposed to be funny? Thank you P

Central Illinois American English It's a pun. Boogie (as I would spell it) means both a kind of dance, and a small piece of nasal mucus.

London English - England I suspect she's talking about a tissue in the sense of a "paper handkerchief" and the boogey is a bogey (snot). cross-posted C

Massachusetts, U.S. English - U.S. In this part of the U.S., small pieces of snot are "boogers." Same pun, though. C
