definition of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;metahumor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is handled, seeing as how it simply redirects to the definition of a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;metajoke&lt;/span&gt;, and not only that, but it limits the use of the prefix meta to the definition of "self-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;referential&lt;/span&gt;." &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Metahumor&lt;/span&gt; is a much broader subject, with many aspects of it yet to be explored.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not all humor is in joke form, so why would &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;metahumor&lt;/span&gt;
