No Pun Intended

AMERICAN PHRASE, widely considered by some to be a cliché. Two uses of this phrase.

#1. "No pun intended!" Is a clarification you make after a remark you uttered that DID indeed contain a pun. You exclaim, "No pun intended" because you honestly did mean to construct the setence to contain a pun.

#2 The second meaning of, "no pun intended" can be tongue-in-cheek or more harshly put, untruthful. In this instance a person purposely inserted the pun. The motivations for doing so vary. Some reasons include: doing it to be humerous, attempting to be clever, wanting to engage in word play, or doing so to annoy people who hate puns. They fib by saying, "No pun intended!" because: they want to avoid embarrassment after no one laughed, escape retribution from those they annoyed on purpose or perhaps they feel foolish for making the pun at all.

#1 Pun WITHOUT intent. "That pistol is so tiny looks like he could be a son of a gun. Sorry, no pun intented!"

#2 Pun WITH intent: "Look at that duck. Hope he has a lot of money just look at the size of his BILL! Ha, ha, ha! No pun intended, right guys?"

Anti-Pun

(n.) An anti-pun is a totally random statement or comment--made when in the midst of Punning-- that is made to sound like a real pun. But It's Really Not!
This can be quite effective if done right; fellow punsters may try to get it at first, but the joke's on them--it's not a joke!

(Two students are making Geology puns)
Student 1: Geology Rocks, but it's a pretty Hard subject
Student 2: Haha Gneiss puns
Student 1: Wow i'm FLOORED
Student 2: ha? . . . wait that was an anti-pun. You got me!

Big Pun 

An awesome M.C., who died a tragic death in 1998, robbing the world of another artist.

I'm a mexican guy, and ladies call me a "fluffy gordito", and I also rap a lot. Big Pun was one of my many inspirations to get into rapping, and it's due to him and others that my skills are coming so well along.

Props to Big Pun, may he rest in peace.
