Cách sử dụng
A pun is a type of wordplay that uses words or phrases that have multiple meanings or sounds alike but have different meanings. It is a joke that is based on the double meaning of words in a humorous way, often with a play on words. Puns are often used in informal conversations and in humor writing, and they can bring a smile or a laugh. For example, "I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised." The word "surprised" has two meanings, one is a facial expression, and the other is being unexpected. The pun occurs because the wife did not see the humor in her facial expression causing the husband to make a play on words.
