Reply #72: "Kidding on the square" is telling a joke you are deadly serious about.

So very common among Loyal Bushies, who are trying to pretend to be Americans when at heart they are Nazis.

Like when they say, "The world would be a better place if every liberal comitted suicide." (and they do say that, perhaps as often in private as the Nazis used to say that same thing about the Jews during the rule of the German Bushies from 1933-1945; there's no way to measure it and compare)

THAT is "kidding on the square".
