Are constructions like listing with 中黒 used in speech?


Example: according to kotobank, one of the definitions of 滑る is

> 俗に、面白いことをしゃべろうとして失敗する。冗談・ギャグが受けない状態をいう。

I'm curious, are constructions like "冗談・ギャグ" used in speech? If they are, is
it basically like taking a short pause while talking? And does it sound
natural, formal or just plain weird?




Yes this can be found in everyday speech. It can sometimes be expressed by
using a pause or saying "なかぽつ" but this is generally used for quoting or
reading off something exactly the way it is written. I would say it is much
more common for a speaker to include とか or など to the same effect in colloquial
speech. Saying なかぽつ can sound a bit tongue in cheek by being so precise with
words.
