persiflagologist

One who studies, uses, appreciates, and furthers the use of persiflage, and particularly its use as a creative and constructive art form when used in the midst of what should be a serious discussion (see below) i.e. to lighten the mood and introduce a quantitatively and qualitatively appropriate bit of humor which does not disrupt but facilitates further constructive discussion. Therefore, the true persiflagologist does not abuse her/her verbal, intellectual and interpersonal skills but, like any other deft artist, uses a splash of color, movement or sound to play a constructive role in the midst of serious discussion.
