'Nuance'...A subtle or slight degree of difference, as in meaning, feeling, or tone; a gradation.

I don't believe Americans have no sense of humour....at least not the ones I've met in person.

If this has gone over your head I'd suggest you PM Takeda or Sailor Steve, they can probably explain it better than me
