What Do People Mean When They Say No “Pun” Intended?
People say that when they say a pun, but it was unintentional. Like, if we were talking about vampires and you said “bite me,” that would be a pun (a play on words), as vampires do bite. Or we were talking about a dog and I said “they’re doggone loyal” it would be a play on “dog” to make a pun. The saying “no pun intended” has become misused to mean “no joke intended,” but the info above is the proper way.
