Puns are a form of wordplay that exploits multiple meanings of a term or similar-sounding words for humorous or rhetorical effect. They often rely on phonetic similarities or the ambiguity of language to create a playful or witty connection between different concepts. For example, a classic pun is: "Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana." In this pun, the phrase "flies" is interpreted in two ways, leading to a humorous comparison.
