>when people talk about "sense of humor" they mean either the sense to pretend something is funny for social reasons
No, they never talk about sense of humour in such cases, if anything they try to avoid any topic which relates to their insincereties.
The second case, yes, sometimes who doesn't laughs gets "accused" that he doesn't have a sense of humour - or more often the person gets explained what's funny in that.
In most cases when sense of humour comes up it's about the person coming up with a joke (for example a situational)or jape, or telling a joke (when and what joke is also included), or spotting a genuinely funny moment during an utterly everyday happening.
>when people are told they have no sense of humor, if they are the only person in the room already bored with the punchline.
If you are bothered by this, then when the joke is told you quick and loud you "shoot the pun" and say in a very condescending tone:
>HAHAHA very funny, it's a joke with a beard
...so you don't get the label. In exchange they'll think/say you are rude, so weigh the pros and cons.
