In Spanish and Latin American literature, a greguería is a short statement, usually one sentence, in which the author expresses a philosophical, pragmatic, or humorous idea in a witty and original way.
A greguería is roughly similar to an aphorism or a one-liner joke in comedy.
Ramón Gómez de la Serna is considered the father of the greguería, which he defined as humor plus metaphor.
[1][2] Gómez de la Serna devoted many books throughout his literary career to this new genre, which he also practiced in newspaper sections.
