Pun


Definition: 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.

Example: I drew a picture of a pun I found on the internet. First, there is a hungry clock, but then after the time goes back four seconds back, the clock isn't hungry anymore. Hence, the clock goes back "four seconds" (for seconds).
