But what about the history of this glorious expression? Well, there are a couple of theories, but the first known usage of ‘cheesy’ was noted in 1858 as part of British slang. However, at that time, cheesy meant ‘fine.’ Same as cheese, we guess? However, just a couple of decades later, in 1896, U.S. student slang had already turned ‘cheesy’ into something a bit more along the lines of contemporary slang, and for them, cheesy was an ‘ignorant person’ or something ‘cheap and inferior.’ So, I guess they were the first to actually invent ‘ironic reversal,’ a language tool that we just love to overuse these days. Anyhoo, we think these funny, cheesy jokes are a nice continuation in the evolution of the term, and once you read them, you might agree with us, too.
