Hello, everyone! Long time no see? Sorry!
"Dajare (駄洒落（だじゃれ）)" is the pun in Japanese. It is a play on words that the meaning of two words or phrases are different, but a sound is very similar or the same. For example in English, "Hi, Jack!" (call name) and "Hijack" (Aircraft hijaking) will be a factor of Dajare.
From 40's to 50's men in Japan loves to say Dajare so especially, young people called "Oyaji (means men of 40's to 50's) Gag" in Japan. There is a funny Oyaji Gag but most likely not funny. But sometimes the apathetic Dajare makes us laugh after a brief interval.
Why does Oyaji generation say a lot of Dajare? Oyaji said, "It is a kind of difficult to communicate with young people without Dajare." According to the doctor of social psychology, "they would say Dajare because it is difficult to have a common topic with young people. Dajare makes Oyaji get close to the younger generation easily. In other words, Dajare is Oyaji's conversation skill to young people.
But we should not underestimate Dajare. As described above, Dajare is to combine two different words or phrases by reason that sound similar. A brain scientist says, "Trying to combine unrelated words and phrases is so creative. People who say Dajare have a creative brain."
There is also a company that decided to use Dajare as the official language in the office because Dajare has the potential to facilitate the communication. It has been scientifically proven. The company is Domino's Pizza Japan. The president of the Domino's Pizza Japan, Scott Orca has an enthusiasm for Dajare. Here is his message.

I think they are still using Dajare in a meeting. I hope they keep using Dajare to facilitate the communication in their office and they can make the creative brains.
