Encajar un chiste
I saw this written, and I know it means to take a joke, as in, what's the matter you can't take a joke? (¿Que pasa, no puedes encajar un chiste?) Is this generally how to say this?

Yes, I heard it that way.
Also, encajar bien las críticas — to take the criticism well But it could also mean, to be able to say the joke at the appropriate moment. Saludos, Poli.
