MEANING & PRONUNCIATION

die Pointe

punchline; unexpected culmination

Die Pointe funktioniert nur, wenn der entscheidende Hinweis zuvor unauffällig eingeführt wird und nicht bereits die ganze Auflösung vorwegnimmt.

The punchline only works if the crucial clue is introduced unobtrusively beforehand without giving away the entire resolution.
