A pun is a play on words in which a humorous effect is produced by using a word that suggests two or more meanings or involving words with similar sounds.
The meaning of PUN is the usually humorous use of a word in such a way as to suggest two or more of its meanings or the meaning of another word similar in sound.
A pun is a clever form of wordplay that plays with multiple meanings or similar word sounds to create comedic effect. They are one of the quirkiest forms of humor in the English language — the kind that makes you laugh and cringe at the same time.
A pun differs from a malapropism in that a malapropism is an incorrect variation on a correct expression, while a pun involves expressions with multiple (correct or fairly reasonable) interpretations.
The actual figure of speech is called a pun, while the verb form "to pun" describes the act of making a pun. Puns are also—but much less commonly—referred to using the more technical term paronomasia.
