A pun is a form of wordplay that exploits multiple meanings of a term, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect. These plays on words often rely on verbal humor and can be used to create puns in written or spoken language. These plays on words can take the form of homophonic, homographic, metonymic, or other types of puns.
