So much PUN!


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.

  1. The title in this post is just a PUN, isn't it?
    A real title is "so much FUN".

  4. Sorry anonymous but "See you later, alligator."
    Is 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.
