**A pun** is a play on words that have similar or identical sounds but different meanings. Here are some examples of using the word «pun» in English:
1. The comedian told a pun about a man who was so hungry that he ate his dinner for breakfast. He said, «I'm going to have dinner for breakfast today, and then I'll have breakfast for dinner.»
2. The headline of the newspaper article read, «Local bakery owner bakes a fortune». The pun is on the word «bakes» which can mean to cook food in an oven, but it also sounds like «makes», which in this context means to earn money.
3. The teacher asked the students to come up with a pun on the word «fast». One student said, «My brother is so slow, he thinks a snail is fast».
4. The advertisement for a new cleaning service said, «We'll clean your house so clean, you won't even know where the dirt was». The word «dirt» is used in its literal sense, but it's also being used because it sounds like «dirty».
5. The joke goes like this: A man walks into a store and sees a sign that says «Sale: 50% off all prices». He asks the salesperson, «What does that mean?» The salesperson replies, «It means you'll pay less for everything». The word «less» is being used in its mathematical sense, but it's also being used because it sounds like «less talk».
6. The comedian said, «I went to the store and bought a book on how to make money. It's called 'How to Make Money Without Working'». The word «working» is being used because it's the opposite of «not working», but it's also being used because it sounds like «worth».
7. The headline of an article about a new restaurant read, «The new restaurant is opening soon. They'll be serving food that will make your mouth water». The word «water» is being used literally to mean liquid, but it's also being used because it sounds like «wonder».
8. The joke goes like this: Two friends are talking about their favorite foods. One friend says, «I love pizza. I can eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner». The other friend replies, «You're a real pizza connoisseur». The word «connoisseur» is a word used to describe an expert in a particular subject, but it's being used here because it sounds similar to «con».
9. The headline of a news article read, «Police are investigating a robbery at a jewelry store». The reporter added a pun by saying, «The thief stole more than just jewelry». The word «stole» is being used literally, but it's also being used because it sounds like «style».
10. The joke goes like this: A man is walking down the street and sees a homeless man begging for money. He decides to give him a dollar. The homeless man says, «Thank you, sir. You've made my day». The word «made» is being used literally because the man gave him money, but it's also being used because it sounds like «meadow».
