PUN

The humorous use of a word or phrase so as to emphasize or suggest its different meanings or applications, or the use of words that are alike or nearly alike in sound but different in meaning; a play on words.






1. I work as a baker because I need dough.


2. I used to do rock climbing as a youth, but I was much boulder back then.

  1. In this example, you should spell it "bolder" because it is punning for "boulder" as in a big rock.
