Straight face test
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The straight face test (also laugh test or giggle test) is a test of whether something is legitimate or serious based on whether a given statement or legal argument can be made sincerely, without any compulsion to laugh.[1] The phrase goes back to about 1987.[2]
