Morphology
bofa + joke
The element 'bofa' is non-standard internet slang without a stable dictionary meaning, so the phrase's sense depends on a specific meme/punchline mechanism rather than regular compositional semantics; knowing 'joke' alone does not allow a learner to infer the pun. Understanding a 'bofa joke' therefore requires prior cultural/meme knowledge and pragmatic inference, making the expression unpredictable for a B1 learner even if they know the surface words.
Etymology
Bofa joke comes from an online prank where someone asks about bofa to make the other person say 'what's bofa?'. The answer is a rude pun, so bofa joke now means a short internet 'trick' that fools someone with a surprise punchline.
