Too Smart for the Room

Do you ever tell a joke that requires too much thinking so only one or two people out of a crowd of a dozen gets it?

Today my professor announced that her husband, a chemist, had "won a prestigious chemistry award"

To which I exclaimed, "Cool! He won a Chemmy?"

One guy burst out laughing. Everyone else looked at me like I was some chemistry nerd.
