WHAT IS A PUN?

Discover the delightful world of puns, a form of wordplay that brings humor through clever language twists. Puns utilize the multiple meanings of words or their similar sounds to create jokes that are often witty and entertaining. For example, "I couldn’t quite remember how to throw a boomerang... but eventually it came back to me." From amusing sayings like "A bicycle can’t stand on its own because it is two-tired," to clever quips such as "Never lie to an x-ray technician... they can see right through you," puns add a hilarious flair to our conversations.
