A very good sense of humour/fun where the humour is not immediately obvious at first and is usually used by someone who appears to be serious at the same time. It requires some work from the listener. Only a part of the joke is presented and the rest, you have to surmise. The challenge is to "get it" in the way it was intended.
It is sense of humor mainly relying upon sarcasm, timing, and wit. Can easily come across as seeming smart-assed, bitchy, or just plain difficult. People in the possession of such generally don't laugh at other's witticisms, even if they think they're funny. Dry, like a fine wine, and easy going but not everyone appreciates them. It is also known by other names like deadpan - a form of comic delivery in which humor is presented without a change in emotion or facial expression, usually speaking in a monotonous manner.
