A "PUN" much like a 駄洒落 or 親父ギャグ
is a joke that uses a play on words.
They often contain two words that are
homonyms, homographs or sound very similar.
In the above example the word "RACKET"
can mean both a tool for playing ball games
and a loud noise.

"See you later, alligator." is also a pun?
ReplyDeleteSorry anonymous but "See you later, alligator."
ReplyDeleteIs not really a pun.
We just add "alligator" to the end
because it rhymes with "later".
Some other silly phrases like this are,
In a while, crocodile.
Know what I said, punkinhead?
See what I mean, Jelly Bean?
Sure do, tennis shoe.
Yes, I do, kangaroo.
Not too soon, you baboon.
Okeedokee, artichokee.
Give a hug, ladybug.
Take care, teddy bear.
Chop-chop, lollipop.
Bye-bye, French fry.
Out the door, dinosaur.
Wave good-bye, butterfly.
So long, King Kong.
There is no second/double meaning,
they just sound funny.
