All Puns Intended
What is a Pun?
A pun, or paronomasia, is a form of word play that deliberately exploits an ambiguity between similar-sounding words for humorous or rhetorical effect. Such ambiguity may arise from the intentional misuse of homophonical, homographical, homonymic, polysemic, metonymic, or metaphorical language.
A pun is a joke or type of wordplay in which similar senses or sounds of two words or phrases, or different senses of the same word, are deliberately confused.
Have a look at the following puns. If there is any one that you do not understand at first read, read through it again and again until you see the humour behind it. When you understood it, congratulate yourself that your sense of humour has risen a notch.
