Derbfine Puns

The way I understand it, let's say you start with a ruling patriarch (or just generally the guy at the top). Now this already isn't easy enough to explain as he probably has brothers, and if he doesn't, his father probably had brothers, and his grandfather probably did as well. Now what I'm asking is, when this guy has a son, that son continues the rule, but I'm also aware that in a derbfine, that the son's brothers would also inherit and gain some measure of rule (as chiefs in their own right), and their kids and so on.

Now what I'm confused about is....well families can get pretty large. SONS (plural) go on to have SONS (plural) and so on. Now I know there's one specific line throughout (firstborns) who are entitled to rulership, but my understanding is that other sons can also found their own chiefdoms, but.....chiefdom over who? Eventually you can end up with so many people that....like, who are they chiefs over? How far from the main bloodline do you have to go before you are NOT allowed to form your own chiefdom? How far do you go before you're no different than a commoner (like say your great, great, great uncle was chieftain by birthright, are you counted at all at this point)?

I'm aware genealogy was extremely important to the Celts, but at some point you'd end up with vastly large families, and they can't ALL rule (there was only so much land really). I'm currently reading something about this, but the book is big with lots of complex concepts and it's taking me forever (also the author seems to have treated it as a given that everyone within a derbfine rules to some extent, so I'm not getting much explanation.....or maybe I will when get to the relevant part, but it's a big book and every sentence has me stopping to see if I understand it correctly).

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

When I got home, they were still there.

Where ever you left it 🤷‍♀️🤭

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

You take away their little brooms

There hasn't been a post all year!

It was about a weak back.

Why

It’s pronounced “Noel.”

After all his first name is No-vac

What, then, is Chinese rap?

Edit:

Notable mentions from the comments:

(Happy 2022 from New Zealand)

Nothing, it just waved

Him: I can explain everything!

(It's his best joke yet I think)

Bob

Just to clarify, 12345678

So that I could frequently say, "I am going to walk 5 miles now."

Edit: My most popular post on Reddit! 😀 Thank you for the awards.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...

Notices there's only 2;

Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."

I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.

I was just sitting there doing nothing.

But nobody ever mentions his sister, Onya, who invented the starter pistol.
