Whiff.

I see your point, and agree for entirely different reasons. NM's earnest, striving posts are, in fact, an attempt at humor, given that this sock's creation and work product are endlessly humorous to its creator. So, too, are whiff posts. So missing the joke, and posting an earnest response, is "jokey" to the poster; hence, a
bona fide whiff.
I think it is an Atticus tribute sock, but in an evil doppelganger sort of way. NTTAWWT.
