Answer
IF ONLY A PERCENTAGE OF WHAT YOU’RE SAYING IS CHEEKY, HOW ARE YOU SPEAKING? PARTLY PERTLY.
Details
partly pertly uses the words “partly” (meaning partially) and “pertly” (meaning cheekily or impudently).
The joke connects the idea of only a percentage (“partly”) of what someone says being cheeky (“pertly”), creating a witty pun.
