A one-liner is a very short joke — often a single sentence — that lands all at once. People who tell jokes on stage fire off one-liners; advertisements and hosts use them too. The laugh sits inside the line itself, not in a long story. Though actually, people stretch it a little: any short, sharp, funny remark can be called a one-liner, even if it is not from a stage act. It is informal. You would not write one-liner in a serious school essay unless you were talking about comedy. It is not the same as a short wise saying; those can be short too, but a one-liner is trying to be funny.
一句話笑話、俏皮話
組成From one + line + -er. A line here is one line of words, as on a page or a script; -er makes it “a thing made of that.”

- linehere, one line of words — not a line of people, and not a ship
