Rye sense of humour

I've heard of a dry sense of humor and a wry sense of humor. Haven't heard of a "rye sense of humor", though it can be a pun in a very special context.

Perhaps others have a different take on this.

Edited to add: I've just found more than 600 hits on google for "rye sense of humor", so surely it's used in some context. Perhaps others will be able to shed light on this.

Must be "WRY", I think

I guess it is a pun then, because it is in quotation marks. It's about a dish which usually involves rye bread, but there is no bread (because it is a special dietary dish), and that's why one has to have rye sense of humour.
Thank you very much

Hi Antonia,

It is spelled "WRY", but pronounced the same as 'rye'.

You are said to have a wry sense of humour if you can show that you find a difficult or bad situation slightly amusing.

Thank you, abbie
Yeah, I see it's a pun, and I can't translate that, so in this case, I can allow myself rather free translation.

It's not a pun on 'rye', Antonia. The adjective 'wry' literally means bent, twisted or pulled to one side. So I suppose you could say "he had a twisted sense of humour"

I'm obviously missing sth here, why did they write rye than?(sorry,I can be really slow sometimes;)))

I've dredged through the first couple of pages of the 67 googles for 'rye sense of humour', and I'm sorry to say they all meant 'wry'.

We must be charitable and assume that they did indeed originally write 'wry', but their spellchecks had an even wryer sense of humour than the assorted bloggers and posters in question and slyly, dryly miscorrected their spelling.

What a pity.

Hi Mr. P,

So you don't think it's intentional then? The context seems to be related to cooking (a dish that's supposed to have rye).

Just curious.

Antonia - have just re-read the thread; it could be a pun, as you suggest, related to the recipe.
