What is an "in-joke"?

An in-joke is a joke or reference that is understood only by a specific group of people who share a common experience or knowledge. It often relies on shared context or insider information, making it funny or meaningful primarily to those within the group. In-jokes can create a sense of friendship among the group members but may be confusing or meaningless to those outside of it.
