Refers to a joke which becomes much less funny if it requires an [explanation]. Farcically derived from a nonsense situation whereby Einstein and his assistant at the time have just finished explaining, in great depth, the workings of hie great [Theory of Relativity]. Upon finishing the lecture, the gathered scientists and philosophers look a little non-plussed an tentatively applaud Einstein for his great work . . . though really they don't quite [understand] it. Whilst accepting the applause graciously, Einstein turns to his assistant, who happens to be chuckling, and mutters "See, I told you, it's nowhere near as funny when you have to explain it (!)" First credit for this original word/concept must be given to Ian James Hay, for it was his peculiar mind that created it :)
