@ Entropie:
a pun is a word play/joke.

Eg. in a Harry Potter fanfiction:
"Are you serious?"
"No, I'm Remus. Sirius is over there."

Or the one made above:
"no fun intended"
This should actually read "No pun intended", an expression you say when you realise you've made a pun and actually didn't want to.
But changing "pun" into the similar-sounding "fun" makes it, well, a pun (and actually quite funny, too).

I'm bad at making puns in English, but I do it all the time in my native language, Dutch. (Are you Dutch-speaking too, Entropie? The fact that your nickname doesn't read Entropy makes me think that...)
